Abstract Dispersions

Here I simply did a dispersion effect to create an effect making these photograph appear somewhat disintegrating into the air.  Firstly I copied my planet like circle which I cut out onto a new white layer.  I then duplicated this layer.  With the original layer I clicked on filter and liquify.  From here I smudged the edges of my photograph.  After this, I added a clip layer mask onto the original layer. and using the brush tool with varying pressures and sizes selected the areas I wanted dispersed.

Here I felt inspired by the fact that often Global Warming is destroying the Earth.  I believe I have captured how the slow process of the global warming is affecting our planet.  I wanted to create these images with a direct link to abstraction through the fact I have heavily liquefied the pano-spheres  and stretched them.  This is a sharp contrast to the my previous pano spheres in the sense that before I explored an abstraction that showed a normal, ordered functioning and neat appearing planet like object.  However now I have shown the opposite, a world in tatters.  This stretching of areas of the photograph has created an effect that appears very surreal in the sense the Earth is being blown up appearing slightly scary.  I like this because its abstract qualities is opposite to this but I believe works nicely because the delicacy of the dispersed particles with varying strengths appears very unreal creating an effect of which the Earth is crumbling away in our atmosphere before our eyes and that life is continuing without people raising an eyebrow.  I feel I am hinting at what could happen if people continue to live this way, destroying our beautiful planet.
