Final Piece

For my final piece I decided to create my second design idea, however I did make some changes to my piece which I didn't mention in my design ideas. 

The first thing I changed was that some of the parts or segments were photograms instead of digital photographs and the second change was that I added a series of 3, of my most successful experiments I created in my sketchbook. The reason I added these changes to my final piece is because i felt it would make my piece more visually interesting instead of having it all digital. 

Also, the 3 series expresses my theme 'Delicate Situations - Abuse' even further without using explaining it.

Artist Statement: These are my final pieces for my Final Major Project ‘Delicate Situations.’ In my project I wanted to express abuse, physical and non-physical abuse and I also wanted to communicate how abuse affects a person mentally, emotionally and psychologically as well as seeing scars or bruises on a person. My first final piece I have created by taking primary photo of someone with a bruised face, I then added texture in Photoshop of a decaying floor, to symbolise the mental effect of abuse, and then I ripped the photograph into different pieces to represent the emotional/psychological effect. The person in the photo is feeling fractured and broken. My other final piece, the 3 series, I am communicating the same effect. First piece is a multiple layered photograph; to express double personality effect. Second piece with the stitch over the photograph is to express ‘hiding’; that the person in the photo is hiding from everyone else. My third piece is different layers of burning photographs, to represent time and that you never know how long abuse has been going on.
