thoughts.
I started my project with a simple
photograph I took of the ground outside of my fiancée’s house. I played with
the levels histogram and a filter until I got an abstract feel that I desired.
That was my background layer and eventually became the randomness that is
spewing from the iPod screen. From there I just added the iPod and the random
snippets of photographs to which I gave a blue hue to blend into the background
layer. The hardest part was the bubble that the iPod is encased in. This took a
lot of work and research to build. I’m still not completely satisfied with the
outcome, but it is what it is.
The piece is supposed to convey
that when I am listening to music, I am in my own little bubble. In that bubble,
I become influenced and those influences spill out into my everyday life. Music
is the glue that keeps all of the random passions of my life together and I
often get carried away in it. I tried to convey my interests by including the
things that I love in an arrangement of my "thoughts”. I also tried to capture
the hope and positivity that I get from music in such a dark and negative
world.
