1. This visual metaphor of this photo is revolving around the idea of divorce.I think the concept of this picture is very strong and it is a very powerful picture.

2. Again, this photo is very powerful. It shows that something is missing. Just like the phrase, " a missing puzzle piece." The concept of this photo is well thought out and I really enjoy this photo.

3. The concept of this photo is that people hide behind masks and cover their feelings. The reality and concept of this photo is also very strong.

__**Swim - Jack's Manequin**__ You gotta swim; swim for your life //Swim for the music that saves you,// //When you're not so sure you'll survive// You've gotta swim; and swim when it hurts The whole world is watching You haven't come this far to fall off the earth

I chose this song because it uses the metaphor of music being hope in the situation when you've been "swimming" for so long that you don't know if you'll make it. Music is a huge part of my life and I can relate to music being a source of comfort, hope, ect.This song also is saying to simply "keep going" and that it's "going to get better. In my project I hope to portray the hope music brings in this sometimes dark world.
