Groer+Myth-Metaphor+Research

= =

It is believed that throughout the years what you can't see can't hurt you. Over the years it has been proven that unseen forces can actually hurt you. Sometimes physically and sometimes mentally and emotionally. I will interpret the idea of a visual metaphor and a myth by creating the image that what you can't see can hurt you, instead of the myth what you can't see can't hurt you. I will need to take sad and kind of chilling photos that make the audience scared and nervous about the pictures. I will try to make the pictures chilling and give the images a sad and gloomy like the ghost hasn't passed through because it hasn't done what it was born for. I will need to shoot images of the graveyard, one of someone and another of someone different. It will involve the graveyard being the death of the ghost and I will have the ghost floating over the head of someone curled up in a ball in the graveyard to show that the ghost is terrorizing the person and abusing them mentally. I wish to do this idea because this subject interests me so much. I love hearing ghost stories and learning about ghosts. I will learn more about how ghosts affect people and how they result in traumatic experiences. This is interesting to me because now I can finally do something involving something that I am interested in. I am basing my idea on the myth that what you can't see can't hurt you. The history behind this is that some people have been affected by ghosts and have been physically abused or tormented by the "unseen forces". I do believe in ghosts, I have never seen one but I have felt like I have been around a ghost. Which ever you prefer to call them: ghosts, paranormal activity, or even unseen forces, people have been hurt from them, whether it has been physically or mentally people have been effected by them. I found the images above from pinterest and they were posted by Human Descent. The artist is someone who likes to take two different images (mainly animals) and create them into something that they kind of look like or that fit their personality. My concept for this project is to prove the point that ghosts can actually hurt you. People say that ghosts aren't real and that what you can't see can't hurt you. When I researched ghosts and if people believed in them, it said that people actually have felt the presence of someone who wasn't actually there.
