Kummer-Metaphor



The first and the last photograph were taken by Andy Goldsworthy while the middle photo was taken by John Paul Caponigro.

I'll be using the lyrics "Just going to stand there and watch me burn, well that's alright because I like the way it hurts" from the song Love the way you Lie by Rhianna and Eminem.

I chose this song because it has a lot of metaphoric versus that I have the perfect ideas to turn into images, it was actually hard to choose which versus just because there are so many. For this particular lyric I want to capture the essence of fire roaring wildly with an innocent face behind the flames with almost piercing eyes. I want to give the overall image something to think about. It needs to be interest and have the attention drawn in and make you think about what it exactly means but it's necessarily obvious. A different interpretation of this image may be similar to my idea although it depends on the person, because there are plenty of creative ideas for this lyric. The photograph b John Paul Caponigro inspired the fire image for my metaphor just because it has the warm colors a fire has, yet had blue and green tones towards the bottom. Also the last picture by Andy Goldsworthy had the ice dripping in a way that made me think of the type of movement I should have for the fire. In the end I hope my image can portray that even the most innocent people can be evil. Although not so extreme in a sense.
