Above all other painting with light photographs, this is definitely my favourite because of the feelings and thoughts it provokes. This picture is a phantasmagoria of mystery and obscurity, while provoking metaphorical/ symbolic ideas. Firstly, the idea I was trying to express was that everyone has a part of them that they are not willing to show - and I wanted this picture to show that part of every person. Whether it be an experience or characteristic that is hidden, every body has a part of them selves that they don't reveal, or prefer not to. Ironically, the torso is the part that is unleashing this inner self - through a rib cage and straight from the centre (heart) of the person. I really think this resembles the idea of exposing and letting free. The upside down position that the second body shows portrays the idea also that these hidden aspects are in some way being built up and stored away so when they are exposed they lash out irrationally and hang from a person, making these moments very out of body experiences. I just really enjoy thinking about this picture as a message rather then an assignment.
