IMPROVED VERSION :

 

I created this piece using photoshop. It was inspired by the system of complimentary colors. According to a color of choice, in my case Orange, I wrote a 5 -7-5  syllable poem about an object which incorporated this color.

I focused on transitioning between the two colours as a metaphor of shift of mood due to the Tee’s burning sensation. Within my poem, I mentioned a sense of pain, which I chose to convey within the image using the colour blue; however Orange represents an enigma of joy.

Hence the poem states ‘ Burned my thigh my hands’, I in particularly concentrated on darkening theses areas within the image, as well as the woman’s throat, as this is the area in which the shift takes part.

 

The overlap of  individual images creates a sense of transient and fleeting emotion, which is evident within the poem and hence relevant to my development. Furthermore, I focused on distinguishing a clear division between joyful association (joyful imagery, Orange) and painful association (pain of hot water, Blue), in order to make the transition of emotion most prominent. This way the two enigmas, directions of the poem are captured within this image, which allows the viewer to chose their own route, so to speak, positive or negative. Which creates  a more personalized experience for the viewer.

 

Tee:

Glide down my throat, smooth

Water scented joy

– Burned my thigh my hands
