My 7th concentration piece. Truth be told, I'm surprised I didn't procrastinate more and spend the entire night struggling to get this done in order to turn it in on time. Apparently, I'm becoming responsible...
*cough, cough* thank you best friend who shant be named who forced me to complete my homework, you cool *cough, cough*
Anyway, from concentration 7 onward there will be a slight change to my theme. Whereas before I focused strictly some of the prisons that trap us in every day life, from this point on I'll be looking at how we struggle to liberate ourselves from those very same prisons. So, I guess you could say I'm making sequels to my old concentrations pieces. This piece, is the sequel to Concentration 3; Fade.
This piece focused a lot on things we often associate with our fears; i.e. the dark, shadows, dark water, the night, the moon, so on so forth. I tried to create a sense of hopelessness as you were swallowed by your fears.
To combat that in in Con 7, I attempted to use a lot of the same elements in a different way. I took the clouds that were originally fading from light to darkness, and reversed their gradient, as well as had them surround the woman almost like a dress that simultaneously was evaporating from her body. This was meant to symbolize her "shedding her fears" and ultimately freeing herself from the prison of her own anxieties. The sun behind her is also a symbol for that, as it represents her freedom and her courage for having finally conquered her prison.
