'Prismey' is Manx Gaelic for ‘prism’. Light split into its different wavelengths, and each component refracted along a thousand paths.

About this piece
Human beings are like prisms. A brief radiance into the universe. Ephemeral; colourful.
As prisms, we absorb the details of the world around us - the sights, the sounds, the scents, the sensations - we allow them to pass through our mind, emerging once more in all directions, splaying outward as word and action, idea, gesture. It is through these colours that we come to know a person. To love them; for all their tones and hues.
When we know a person, we hold just a single fragment of their personality. An orphan facet that persists as a memory. We care for that piece of them as we tend to a flame. For example, I keep the flame of my father kindled, and in the back of my mind he lives on, popping up to say hello or to laugh at a joke I know he would find amusing. Just that fragment of him that was “Dad”.
So you see, we absorb this refracted light from our fellow human beings and in turn we pass it ever onward to all we encounter. Unending sentient rainbows.
About me
I’m a Manx artist, living on the Isle of Man – a beautiful island in the Irish Sea.
I’ve been creating art for many years. My work can be found hanging on walls in Manhattan, Tokyo, London, Abu Dhabi, Madrid and even at sea on a US Navy warship!
You can see more of my work at https://mattbrown.art
The title of my pieces are written in Manx Gaelic – the language of my island.

That's an amazing piece of art. I really love the colors 😄
Thanks for the giveaway!
That's an interesting way of thinking about the way we know people and store memories of them. People are so complex. I have been married to the love of my life for nearly 42 years, I know her very well, but there is always more to learn about her. Different situations and experiences bring out different facets of her personality.
Congratulations @kaazoom! You were the lucky winner of my NFT competition! I shall transfer the work over to you over at the NFTShowroom.com
Be sure to tell others about my giveaways - there will be another starting later today :)
Thank you @mattbrown.art This will be the first NFT I have.
My pleasure!!
Done!
Thank you Matt. How do I access it? Sorry, I'm a complete novice when it comes to NFTs.
I think all you have to do is sign into NFTshowroom.com with your hive wallet and it should show up in your gallery page: https://nftshowroom.com/kaazoom/collection/
From there, you can admire it, display it or list it for sale!! Have fun :)
Sorry, I've just seen that you left details when you said I'd won. I was so pleased to have won that I missed the link you posted. Have a good day.
