A man fished out a bottle from the sea and found a letter inside.
“I have been marooned on an uninhabited tropical island. There is no inflation, no taxes, no city noise, no traffic or pollution. Take a moment to reflect and envy me”
The letter in a bottle is a powerful concept of despair, hope and salvation in an improbable twist of fate. Yet, is rarely used by artists as a theme, apart from the millions of images of old bottles half-buried in sand.
Yet, there’s an artist who decided to document his suburban world existing half-way between a large city and nature, in a series of bottled pictures.
Jim Dingilian makes pictures inside bottles with candle soot as his primary media. This allows him to create dreamlike images encapsulating the life of a small suburb,
It is not great art, but it is something that makes you stop, look inside, and reflect on your personal experiences (if any) with suburban life and/or moments frozen in time. I find it strangely captivating.
Thank you, the Daily Prompt for reminding me of this artist.
Standing Ovation, Seated 
These are very nice!!
Compositionally, it is a very interesting challenge, if it is a round bottle. There’s no starting or ending point to the composition of a drawing inside ) Some of them are very clever
Very interesting form of art.
It is, surely – bottles that might have ended their existence in a trash bin and candle soot that is generally thought of as dirt produce Memory Bottled )
