Anahi+Cortez+Visual+Metaphor

**Image #1:**
==The first image on the top left of the page was taken from Julieanne Kost in he exhibition "What I Dream". I chose this picture because I loved the editing. The story behind this beautiful image bring many different perspectives and emotions. Personally, When I saw this picture I felt fear. The fear in her eyes caught my attention instantly. the small house, the fence, and the chain is find of placed behind the girl. I assume that the image is telling us about her past and the scars that will always by on her mind. The girl in the image is a young girl which saddens me. A girl already so young as suffered through so much.==

Image #2:
==The image in the top center of the page is an image created by Francesca Woodman. The expression in her hands was what caught my eyes. The model it bend over and seems to be in pain. What speaks to her are her hands. The model also seems to be out of place and personally I believe that shoe like many others is having a had time recognizing herself. She is covering herself which shows that she wants to hide her sadness and that she id afraid to show her true self. The color of the image is also black and white which adds a negative mood to what she has created.==

Image #3:
==The last image which I chose is at the top right of the page. Like my first image, the artist is Julieanne Kost. I was really inspired with this image because of it seems that two separate pictured had been taken and placed right on top of one another. When I saw this image, I expediently thought if the metaphor "There are always two sides to a story." The image on top shows the earth and its beauty and what we see of the world. The picture on the bottom shows the side that not all people may see. The struggle that our ancestors had to suffer to give us a better future.==

My Metaphor
==I was inspired from a quote which came directly from Martin Luther King Jr. "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl; But whatever you do, keep moving." This quote inspires me greatly because it reminds me never to give up. The challenges which I make cross paths with, were placed in front of me because I was meant to overcome them. I hope that when creating my image, I am able to express this metaphor in my own way; To create this image I want to combine three or more pictures, which I will take, to show that my model is lost. She will be struggling and in great confusion; However; There will be a positive outcome to the image. Showing that even though life is difficult and sometimes unfair, you must always push forward. I imagine the pain and suffering would be in the background were as life and perhaps beautiful flowers will be the main focus of the image.==
