I had to come back....{ drawn to it, I was thinking it somehow reminds me of ectoplasm creeping out of an older antique type camera...}
I do love it!

Lauren,
This work has so many incredible attributes: The colors, the shapes, the images transluscence, the various textures and the composition are all spot on. Combined they create an ethereal, atmospheric work of abstract art. Great job and very original.

First off - the colours are spot on - of perfect blend and placement!. An odd but throughly interesting use of shape too.

Superb!

Lovely colours and intriguing design.

Not entirely sure whether the title is intended to be the key to this or not, but I can see it might be: the square body (machine) filled with body parts (machinery) and, at the very centre, where we think the ghost must be... nothing. Examine the ghost and you will find a hole through which we see the background mists. And yet, there is nothing missing. The being is complete. The absence is a non-absence: the absence of something that never was, could never be. The machine needs no ghost. The person _is_ the machine.

Don't know if that's what you had in mind, but the image seems to fit with the meaning of the phrase, so I'm guessing so. (But some of the comments suggest maybe not...)

Love it. I like most the right side of the image: the dark colors on black background look like some fabric being ruffled by a wind from another dimension.
