I have decided to change directions a little bit with my project to representing the beauty and advancements technology has brought us, but also how it distracts us and the necessity for a balance between the two in our society. Marcel Dzama created this masked woman titled "Soon to Change." I liked the idea of her being hidden, her senses are being covered and dulled. The dull tones she uses and her choice of offsetting the face in the painting brings a great sense of unknown to it. I will be playing around with this sense of mystery throughout my project.
Years ago, I made a friend that lived in another state over the internet through a social networking site. We talked often and I was able to share much with him more easily than friends I had in person. I had a dream about him one night, and because of the great mystery in the reality of our friendship- my dream turned into one of the most surreal and precious experiences. I want to convey that eerie sense of mystery and unknown in an elegant and orderly visual. I want to expand on the idea of the many precious relationships that exist in a different reality than the natural world. Suzy Poling uses photography and the inspiration of Science Fiction films to convey this eerie feeling.
Ree Treweek created this image from pen, ink, and photoshop. This is an example of what I was thinking to illustrate on my bubble. I want to make a design that blurs together in a collage of the sea. I am thinking of creating this on the "bubbles" that represent the experience of the relationship. I will be wearing a bubble over my head and will be attached to others.
