Fear of FailureIn-Progress PhotosReference PhotosReflection Digital piece composed of a photo of myself writing on a piece of paper, along with images of skies, water, and a boat figurine. The cool-tones in this piece correspond with piece #1 & #8 as the instance conveyed in this piece involves fear and stress. The tilt of the boat, water, and sky aids the illusion of my hands controlling the situation as if I am ‘steering the boat’ of my life, yet the pressure my pencil places on the boat (the pressure I and others place on myself), causes the boat to sink (places stress on myself and fuels the continuation of my fear to achieve my goals).
I began this piece by selecting a photo of waves from lake water that I had taken on my iPhone months prior and importing such into superimpose on my iPhone. I then tilted the horizontal axis of this photo to make the water look more dramatic. After adding this, I felt I immediately needed to add a sky if I had water, so I took another photo from my iPhone and superimposed it into the image. After creating this setting, I felt that I should add a boat, but the problem was that I didn't have any photos of a boat on my iPhone nor my Canon Rebel camera, so I resorted to a boat figurine that my dad placed in his bedroom, and I took a few photos of this boat to figure out which composition I liked the best. Once I picked which composition I liked the best for the boat, I superimposed this image into the water and sky that I had already merged together and removed the original background of the boat photo to place it in the best position. With the scene starting to come together, I felt that I needed to make this piece more interesting and coherent, so I edited the foreground (the boat) and the background (the sky and waves) colors to share more of a blue color scheme. After creating what I thought was my final piece, I thought more about the metaphorical meaning of this piece while coming across a random photo in my iPhone camera roll that was of me writing on a piece of paper at school while in class.
