Third attempt of Destroy the Icon
This is my third attempt of Destroy the Icon, which is based off of her landing in Fortaleza, Brazil. Her last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Sequential Narrative

All our lives we have listened to stories and have told our own. Usually within these stories there are lessons to be told. Sometimes the stories even share turning points or resemble an achievement within one's life. Within my piece I want to play with the idea of stories I've learned lessons from as a child. Most of these being references to Disney Fairytales. My main focus will be the stages of an apple being eaten, eventually dropping to the floor (very Snow White based). This invokes the sequential narrative, while I'll use pieces to allude to other stories to set the scene/background.
I love all of your iterations of this image, however this one is my favorite. I like how you messed up the composition of the original and placed Amelia in the bottom left rather than the right middle. This helps to solve the copyright issue very well. I also love the textures on this image, with the teals and pinks. The pinks are especially striking due to the accomplishments that she had made as a woman.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you are using in this photo. The textures are great and you can't tell what photo you are using. Your subject looks like a ghost.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking this composition a lot and I think it creates another layer of "destruction" by further obscuring what the original image is. The blending modes making the subject look ghostly pale works really well here, especially if you wanted to push a theme of the mystery surrounding her death.
