I have always found the inkblots of the psychological test known as the Rorschach test to be beautiful and alluring. During a Rorschach test, subjects perceptions of inkblots are recorded, analyzed, and used to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning.
I wanted to create this effect with underwater imagery because of the inherent doubling effect that happens with the reflection. When I created this image as a mirrored "inkblot", I immediately saw a head of a grasshopper starring straight towards me.
Grasshoppers can only jump forward….not backward, or sideways. When the grasshopper appears to us we are being asked to take a leap of faith and jump forward into a specific area of life without fear. Usually that specific area is one that we have avoided and is often connected to change on a larger scale.
