BAYER+Myth+FINAL



The myth I am interpreting is that there is fear in the unknown in everyone's daily lives. I believe that these pictures will help me incorporate my own understanding and visual of this metaphor project. This artist, Martin Stranka, has a strong concept of transforming these images into not only his perspective; but into others who can relate and see a side or story within these images. Due to the conditions of life that contains its highs and lows of struggles, I'm going to need dramatic lighting; representing a deeper thought and stronger meaning behind these images. The main focus to my idea is that I want to do something evil. My myth is going to be trolls because people believe they are small but overall, they are powerful and are valuable; people just don't view them like that. Trolls have been around for ages but yet; people don't seem to care or even think about them. This myth and ideal is interesting to me because it's different and I find it extremely neat how every troll looks different but still have the features of a human being. Overall, learning from this, I'm going to learn more about trolls and their backgrounds. Though, the image I'm going to create will demonstrate how trolls have a good background and even though they may be evil; they can be good too.

 * CONCEPT: What is your idea for mythology and/or metaphor, how will you interpret the idea of a visual metaphor and a myth? ** A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things not using the word "like" or "as" to make the comparison. Metaphors are used daily describing a realistic thing to some other related subject; which can be powerful but yet; tricky to identify at time.
