It's been a little while since I've made a new blog post, and that's for various reasons. 1) I've been sick. 2) Senior paper. 3) College app preparation. 4) Maybe I'm a little lazy. I'll stop tossing excuses at you, however, and go ahead and just make a new post (as if that wasn't already obvious.) This piece is the third in my concentration for school, and it's titled Fade.
Remember when I mentioned confusing compositions? This is the epitome of them.
This piece is supposed to showcase the prison of fear. I chose to avoid using any colors at all to resurrect that old, grayscale, horror movie feeling, while also emphasizing the use of black because most of the things we associate with fear or are afraid of are black. We're afraid of the dark, of oblivious, of the things the go bump in the night. The ooze that the girl is sinking into is her fear, and it's swallowing her whole much like so many people's doubts and concerns do. As disappears into her own fear, she reaches up to the sky, and more specifically, the moon. It's the last touch of light in her world before she disappears, and she's asking it to save her from the darkness that is swarming around her.
This is a HUGE Picture, so here are some close ups of the details;
