Okay, here is the new challenge.

? + ? = Life

It can be:
Life - ? = ?

Life has both sides. Good and bad, joy and sadness, positive and negative, etc.
It can't be one sided. They are always back to back.
Or if you miss/loose one thing, then what will happen to your life? This has so many options.
I rather hear from you first than give you the examples.
So I'd like to see your opinion/theory in your life and get the feels from your pictures.
It can be one or more than one pic.

Here are some of my pics from the past.

Dispersion + Cooperation = Life

Oh, I forgot to mention the deadline for this.
The challenge will run to midnight TD time on August 6 and the baton will be passed to its new custodian the following day.

If I'm not covering everything, please guide me!!!
Thanks.

I should probably add that since none of my pictures are 'new' they are not eligiable to win the challenge- or at least that's the way it usually works. I hope to make some time so i can draw some new pictures for the challenge- i have so many in mind

Thank you so much for joining this challenge. I'd love to see your new works as well as old ones. Whatever you draw, your talent will be greatly appreciated.

I love your concrete images Arw65. They describes how we get those lives. Thank you.

Qsilv

lol...... hanging, you've set a wicked challenge here!
I've been thinking about it for hours; first thought in my mind when I awoke, even. But translating those ideas into sets of 2-D pictures, that's tricky.

I love how Arw is approaching it.

Babyangel2000

i love Arw65's life - love = horror! thats brilliant and well thought out!

Arw65

thanks, and btw- those who didn't know- or weren't around when TD was big on divulging Real life ties to other TD-ers, My 2nd Nature picture, titled pebbles, is a picture of my mom, she hasn't done anything on TD in quite a while.

Qsilv

hanging, I realize this display may not quite fit what you had in mind, but somehow I find it both startling and satisfying to see how these older images of mine can be coaxed to connect.

Each is meaningful to me whether it did well by TD standards or not… I can add others, subtract a few, adjust their placement... but by now I’ve found the theme in this banner unfurled --

“life is a progression of
…explosive energy… aching voids… and wishes… ”

Ok, folks, honest, all I started out to do was connect a molecular structure to something I thought I had that was kinda outer-spacey… and the observant will note that neither of those are even up there! lol

(And also honestly, after all the poetic drama is booted out of the way, I just really liked the way the colors and shapes play off each other too well not to post ‘em!) ;>

So here’s the original cheap trick version—

“Life is a set of extremes with some balance in the middle”

Thank you Qsilv for displaying your philosophy. I honestly need more time to analyze them to understand your thoughts better. But one thing I surely get from you is 'Life is complicated'! Let me have little more time, okay?

hanging

And Q, the display really fits in my thought though. Your equation is very sophisticated so my brain just needs to catch up to decode.

I have a complicated and gorgeous project in mind, but a lot of work waiting me at my desk... damn TD!!
