I am exploring the feeling of envy through the experience of traveling to a new place.

In the photograph, I have a toy alien standing in a puddle of green paint on a map. The map represents travel while the alien represents new as when someone travels to a new place, they not only feel like an alien, they are considered one. The puddle of green paint represents envy as the alien is standing, surrounded by this envy from traveling to a new place. I made sure that both the alien and some of the map was in focus. I angled the camera almost parallel to the ground so that we could see the detail of the alien. Being close to the alien and the map adds to my concept because we can see the interaction between the alien being stuck in the puddle of envy and the map.

The map created a feeling of lost with all of the many roads. The alien is the sense of misplace and not belonging which demonstrates being new. The paint is the sticky feeling of envy. The only things I adjusted in Photoshop was making the greens more vibrant and cropping around the top right.
