“You must unlearn what you have been programmed to believe since birth. That software no longer serves you if you want to live in a world where all things are possible.”

It’s funny that just yesterday I thought I had made something really amazing in my own evolution of stone balancing. Trying something for my first time that was rumored to be quite a challenge. That was then. This photo is the product of going out the following day and building a NEW orb and hone the process. This time slowing down, carefully placing EVERY SINGLE STONE. This one turned out quite a bit bigger, rounder, more symmetrical, and all on a much smaller contact point. :)
All of the elements lined up perfectly once again to produce this picture… possibly my favorite to date, given those colorado sunset colors, shapes of stones, negative space, proportions, and the addition of a new element.. that **orb thingy. I was trying to decide what kind of shape to make and decided on the ball to contrast the angular shapes of stones.. I really like the contrast between the 3-dimensional space of the orb, and the relatively 2-dimenisonal rock silhouettes.
**To see some more funky shapes with stone, some can be found in the work of Andy Goldsworthy and other land artists… Someone did actually accuse me of copyright infringement for making a circular structure with stone.. but this particular person has zero understanding of copyright law… and therefore null.
jerks crying Photoshop… did you not READ THE POST… “Your software no longer serves you”… Lol Forget what you think you know and have faith in the miracles before you. YOU are the only one who stops them from being Real.
Such an awesome gift you’ve developed! Thank you! <3
I would love to airbrush paint this If I may have your permission pleeeease I love the lighing
This Dream real !
First the smooth round stones balanced perfectly, next the arches and now this “compiled” balance. What could be next?
Emilio people like you are so BORING, crying Photoshop at everything. get a creative life!!!! Of coourse hes sure its NOT photoshopped, he created the things!!!!
Gravity Glue: are you sure? the picture is very nice, also if there are discrepant shadows…. :-)
Emilio Pessina, no photoshop was used. the lighting is achieved with a remote flash..
Pascal Fiechter: Photoshop :-)))
love this whole balancing sculpture, hope it stays like that for a long time. love it.
Yes everything in this is just so special…
unbelievable..
ASTONOSHING…….INCROYABLE,MAIS VRAI,CAN’T WAIT TO GET TO NEW-MEXICO…….LOVE LOVE LOVE
wow…
Fantastic….
the remote flash is being held above the frame to the left. pointed straight up to soften the light contact with the rocks.. straight down would have overexposed the lit up side of the globe..
Awesome, but the light is very confusing me. Isent the little light left comming from the right side? Because on the ball it looks like its comming from the left…
takes my breath away xxx
