Would be curious to hear how you achieved the above.

Because I use quite a few different editing programs, separate plug-ins, multiple images and sometimes dozens of layers in 1 image, it is impossible to write down the different stages exactly and that is why I stopped doing this years ago, my edits are one-off (unique) performances and impossible to repeat in exactly the same way again, sometimes I don't even remember which images I used as a starting point. I made this abstract image last week, so I still remember which 3 photos I used for it, the first photo is a shot of grass in the snow on which I released a plug-in with a rotation effect plus a crayon effect, the second photo is an crop of a small Maltese glass vase on which I (done in post) released all kinds of different color filters and converted into a negative version, the third photo are leaves of a monstera plant, I used this composition to have some photo wallpaper made for a (small) wall in our appartment. I used a separate, transparent, yellow-green color layer between the different photos, too. In the image you can see the monstera leaves at the top, in the (honeycomb like) white background parts you may recognize the crop of the Maltese glass vase converted into a negative version and all over this a mix - being a negative version, too - lies the image of the 'rotated' grass, which is originally a b&w photo.
