Gostisha_Visual+Metaphor



In the first photo, by Brooke Shaden, a girl is being grabbed by several tree branches that seem to have hands. This picture really called out to me because I thought it was really creative how she created it. The photo demonstrates a visual metaphor because of the fact that trees don't actually have hands (obviously) and shes showing how the tree is grabbing the girl.

In the second photo, also by Brooke Shaden, there seems to be a girl trapped behind a wall. Personally, this is my most favorite photograph that I stumbled across while looking at examples of visual metaphors. This photo demonstrates a visual metaphor because of the fact that she is trapped behind the wall, which obviously doesn't happen in real life.

In the third photo, by Brooke Shaden, there is a girl putting her head up to a wall but her hair is going all over the place, as if shes laying on the floor. This photo demonstrates a visual metaphor because your hair doesn't do that when you simply just stand near a wall. I love how all of Brooke's photographs are very simple; yet, they have so much meaning behind/in them!

"Hell is empty and all the demons are here" This quote is by William Shakespeare.

This quote evoked the metaphor of emptiness, sort of in the terms of saying that Hell is an actual place and it is empty because those who SHOULD be there are actually here.

This quote could potentially inspire be in this project in several different ways; im hoping to create a photo that is more dark, to portray this quote. I chose this quote because I absolutely agree with it. I agree with it because I don't necessarily believe in Hell, because of the fact that we are already living in it!
