Diptych

Fight For Energy

For those who don't know what a diptych is, its a painting, or picture that may be closed like a book. In this case both images have a mediforical representation about myself.
For this assignment in design we were given camera to go out and shoot. We had to choose mediforical pictures that represented something about ourselves.

Diptych:
I’m communicating certain events in my childhood. One image was on of a tall flower that reached above all others which represented my growth spurt as a kid. The other image was of the solar panels on my roof. I added more contrast to the image representing my lack of energy as a child. I envisioned two problems of my childhood, that related to each other. This piece represents the main problem i faced in my childhood.
I had to find metaphorical images, that could not be too literal. I had many ideas that were I had to take pictures of. I tried to close the shutter to take a picture of the sun. The picture was already dark, so i decided to add even more contrast to emphasize the light coming from the sunset.
