arthur, to me this is some very solid work, including those thoughts you've tried to put into words down here.

that said, i too have had other favorites in your ball-saal folio (all deleted now).

i tend to skip number one (iber). it's horrible :) but i kinda expected to see it having skimmed through what you currently have up on your personal site. it might very well be the most important one in the whole set, because it makes me think about how far you can stretch abstraction without violating visuals, as visuals, to me, always come before anything else when doing this kind of "seek & twist" on reality. so, though i have to admit i maybe even hate this particular frame, it's also true it serves as the most thought-provoking, at least in this actual setting.

the second one, koca, lacks consistency in terms of composition in the series, and personally i find the composition unfortunate if not arbitrary. other than that the photo is fine to me.

the rest, excluding etau (etau seems to me to be about something completely different than the rest of the set, and i don't like it), just flat out _works_ - and very much to my personal preferences. cheers!

btw, exai reminded me of an old amiga game, moonstone. don't ask why, i have no idea. :)
