This was simple to do, and something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I wanted to have a stark self portrait with an explosive element up top to indicate my thoughts and feelings. I imported a photo of myself and a fountain into Inkscape, bitmap traced them, and then arranged the nodes in such a way as to connect the two images. I won’t go into the different fountains, explosions and other images I tried, but I will say at one point there was a lotus coming out of my head.
