Visual+Metaphor+Research

This image i chose this photograph by Maggie Taylor because i thought of this picture as a normal person living a normal life but closing their eyes to the life struggles they have to deal with. the fact that this woman is blindfolded so she cant see whats going on around her shows that she's clueless and doesn't want to open her eyes to reality. It inspired me because that's how i believe many people are at times, just closing them self to what they don't want to see or hear from others around them.

This next picture created by Andy Goldsworthy, really stood out to me because to me it looked to be as a target and the quote i am using from one of my favorite songs which to me is more than just a guy breaking a girls heart, shes expressing how she feels and the anger and emotion running through her veins. Its so powerful to make you understand how she feels and that she seems to be the target of everything. This sculpture done by Andy Goldsworthy, is obviously a picture of a target but at the same time there's a story behind it one will only notice if they look beyond what was captured. This work of art is very unique and it definitely represents the type of work i would like to capture.

This portrait done by Jerry Uelsmann is one that also represented my quote and without words this basically shows how much someone will feel abandoned after a heartbreak and the clouds really make it more dramatic. Its very unique and i loved how it really showed how lonely some can feel and how much it hurts for one to be taken advantage of and thrown away.

"You're gonna catch a cold, From the ice inside your soul" --Christina Perri, Jar of Hearts

I chose these poem lyrics because to me this song is very powerful to girls everywhere not only to say goodbye to those who treat you with disrespect and that your better than that. the first time i heard this song i almost cried because it was something that related to my past relationships with friends and boys and sometimes even family and since its such a great metaphor i knew that it would be very powerful for me to bring out.

This song is written by Christina Perri who is a fairly new music artist and has many hits that can relate much to young girls and their internal struggles they have to deal with.

The visual metaphor this song provokes would be that the ice inside your soul represents how evil some people can be and that it can hurt others emotionally and mentally.

some other interpretation some people might have of this song, i don't think many people would have a different vision of it because its basically straight forward but if you really think beyond the lyrics something else can come of it.
