DeAngelis-Metaphor

Each of these pictures had a dark mood to them, because of the color choices used. But each one told a different story. I liked how in the first image you could tell that your childhood home and life will always be there and it created a sense of security towards me. Then in the second image the clouds showed a sense of hope which sort of inspired me in my selected lyrics because the lyrics show that you are hurt but in the end you can get better if your try. Then in the last image cracks and dark blue/purple colors helped inspire my idea of being broken down by the words people say because cracks represent a sign of breakage and the blue colors shown a mood of sadness which is what you are when people are hurtful towards you.

//" I thought that I've been hurt before, // // But no one's ever left me quite this sore, // // Your words cut deeper than a knife, // // Now I need someone to breathe me back to life, // // …. // // I'll be needing stitches." //

I chose these lyrics from the song, “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes because it created a connection towards me and what I have gone through in the past. This is because I have experienced hate by others, where there was name calling and rude things said back and forth so I can really understand that these things are just as painful as a deep cut from a knife which is the metaphor I’m going to try and provoke. So the metaphor will then portray an emotion of being hurt and not knowing how to pick yourself up from it. Someone else that may listen to the same part might think that are dying and don’t know what else to do. These specific lyrics will influence my project by creating a depressed mood overall for the photograph because I really want to get across how badly someone can get hurt from someone's words.
