The Nature Of Reality And The Digital Dilemma

This “image” (I’m not sure what to call it, I certainly didn’t paint it in the conventional sense) is based on a photograph I took in Sheffield in the 1980s. As far as I remember, it was the junction of Old Street and Broad Street, but once all the filters and shenanigans have done their worst, it looks more like Bell Street. Bell Street isn’t real, but neither is the image. Is any image? Discuss.
