Leaving a mark within a space

The leaf image I took while going into town after college one day. It caught my eye because several fallen leaves along the conctrete were framed by their moisture seeping out while they becan to decay. It was interesting because when the leaf possibly blows away or eventually disintergrates, it will leave a mark within the space that it lay. The moisture mark is a memory almost for the area that the leaf  occupied within that space.

Figure 1: Fallen leaf surrounded by its moisture seeping out from it. 

 

These images of the flower and of the dates twig (above and below) are my experiments, inspired from what I saw(top off page, Figure 1) with the leaf and moisture rings. They are done bleach on neutral and coloured paper. I wanted to get that effect of the moisture seeping out but to leave a permanent mark. It creates an organic mark on the page. The viewer could not be sure what lay within that space. Its quite mysterious in that sense.
