Mies-+Metaphor

The first picture in the banner which was done by Andy Goldsworthy inspired me by just the idea of an outdoor scene and using natural materials to create a piece of art. Jerry Uelsmann inspired me with the idea of the house, by possibly using a picture of a house surrounded by something else. Then John Paul Caponigro inspired me by just taking a plain scene and then making it into a piece of art.

The lyrics that I am using are from the song Beautiful Drug by Zac Brown Band:

You're such a beautiful drug

I can't get enough

Addicted and I'm dying for a hit of your love

Got a death wish baby, baby

Don't want you to save me, save me She lets her hair down

And all of mine stand up

Can't help but stare now

Gotta feel that touch

Her kiss, my fix, so sweet

Can't quit those lips are a habit to me

Sweet intoxication and I'm never getting sober

I can tell that the effects are taking over

Pull me in

Get me hooked like a junkie

You got me feeling so high

<span style="font-family: proxnov-reg,arial,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I chose the lyrics because not only are they the lyrics to my favorite song but I also like the metaphor behind it which is that he likes her so much that she is all that he can think about. This just simply evokes the idea of someone like someone else so much that that person is all they can think about. Which symbolizes a drug since when you're on drugs you can't get enough of that which shows how he feels about her.

Another way that someone might interpret this song is there's a guy who falls for a girl who isn't exactly the happiest and many other people don't see how amazing she is but he does. So he talks about how she's like his drug since he can't get enough of her although other people would just rather stay away. I'm going to portray my interpretation of the song by just simply taking a photograph of someone who's happy or smiling showing the guys point of view in the song about how perfect this girl is and how he just can't get enough of her.
