’…Thy Fearful Symmetry’: A Visual Ode to Blake's 'The Tyger'

In the forests of the night, where fearful symmetry meets divine creation—Blake's eternal questions made visible through light and shadow.

"Blake's 'fearful symmetry' made manifest - a composite meditation on creation, power, and divine wonder. This composite artwork transforms Blake's poetic imagery into a powerful meditation on creation itself—the delicate balance between divine craftsmanship and untamed power.

The tiger, with eyes burning like "fire" from Blake's verses, rests within protective hands that echo the "immortal hand" of the creator. Set against a forest where light pierces darkness like Blake's "burning bright," this image captures the poem's central tension: the awe-inspiring beauty of creation and the mystery of its maker. The selective color technique emphasizes those piercing amber eyes—windows to the "fearful symmetry" that has captivated readers for centuries."
