Diptychs and Triptychs

The following four are diptychs that I made out of pictures I took from Project 4. I matched up photos with a common theme and edited them to look coherent to each other. The next four photos after the diptychs are triptychs. I did the same with them; they have a common theme and connect to each other. 
This first diptych is actually two diptychs next to each other. I swapped the half of a picture of my cat with half of a picture of a ceramic cup with a face. I matched up the two photos so the photo as a whole looked like a face (very creepy face).
This second diptych is a picture of a building and a picture of a drawing of a similar building. I made both pictures black and white to emphasis the shape of the building rather than the colors. The two photos are also inverse to each other.
This is another diptych of two lights. The light on the left is the reflecting of a ceiling lamp in a phone screen. The second light is of my digital clock in the dark. The two photos connect through their dark backgrounds and their vibrant colors.
The two photos in this diptych connect through their similar subject matter; hey both are fossils. I made the photos have a sepia affect to really emphasize their age. 

This is a triptych that I made using three apples. I connected them together to make it look like one apple, but slit. The pictures obviously connect through subject matter.
This second triptych is of a candle. I took these photos in the dark and at different angles. I really enjoyed how the light of the flame reflected on the candle.
This third triptych is of completely different subject matter, but I edited the colors so the pictures would have a common theme. Also the photos relate through shapes and lines.
My last triptych are all of trees, but they are completely different trees. The colors I edited the different types of trees show a contrast in mood.
