Desideratum

Most of the images I generate are boldly colorful, so with Desideratum, I wanted to take a step back and live for a while in a black-and-white world. All of these started in Ideogram and went back-and-forth between that program and Gimp until I got the effect I wanted. The working title was "Goth Noir," and the themes connecting each of the eight images chosen to represent the series include longing, connection, and isolation. Hope you enjoy!
