Madison+Dominiak+-Myth

My idea is very in depth about what I want to do. My myth is going to be bloody mary. So bloody Mary is basically this girl that was supposedly buried alive, when her father buried her, he tied a string to her hand and then the other end of the string to a bell, so if she had lived he would dig her up to save her. But he never heard the bell even though it's said she was moving and the bell was ringing. Bloody Mary is better know as a game. You go into a bathroom with a candle, shut all the lights off and close your eyes. Next you say "Bloody MAry" three times, when you open your eyes again she will be standing in the mirror looking back at you. My metaphor I have to do extra research on, but I want to find something having to do with mirrors. I've looked around but haven't found anything yet. The basic meaning of the metaphor I am looking for is just that what you see isn't always what's there. Just like in the game I don't think that she would actually be there it would just be your mind playing tricks on you. I also want to maybe layer on top of the bloody mary picture, some one looking in a mirror either really upset, or do someone in a carnival mirror. I will probably do the carnival mirror because this represents that even thought you might see yourself in a different way that you don't actually look like that. So to take the bloody mary picture, I'll need to photograph someone is dark clothing probably covered in blood. Then I'll take a picture of a mirror and crop them into the mirror. Or maybe I'll find a frame to a mirror and prop it up in front of them. For the carnival picture (IF I DO THIS ALSO) I will need to go some where that has a mirror like this and take a picture. I don't know for sure if I'll be layering a carnival picture on top yet but, it's a possibility. I think this is a strong idea because it will show that just because you see something the way you see it doesn't always mean that it's true. I think a lot of people in our society have self image problems and this would help represent that.
