Weisensel+-+Metaphor

= Visual Metaphors = ==

All three photos above were created by Jerry Uelsmann. I chose photos by Uelsmann alone because I feel as though his work can be interpreted however the viewer wants to see it. These photos inspired me to incorporate human with nature.

The quote I chose to use for my project is “She loved mysteries so much that she became one". I chose this quote because I read the book ¨Paper Towns¨ by John Green and the quote really made me think. To me, the metaphor is that the girl essentially turned into a mystery; not literally, but she became mysterious and secretive. Margo craves the idea of having a glass wall between her and the world. She keeps things to herself and comprehends individually. The interpretation of this quote is really up to the individual but other interpretations may include that Margo is/was depressed. She limits conversation with others and distances herself. This quote and the research inspired me to incorporate a person in nature and make it as mysterious as possible.
