Untitled 2013
Photographer: Michelle Lan
This project is continuing with my last project but I do have
changed the colour that I used to do before. This time I feel quite lost, I
just confused how to do my next project and from July to now I've been through
many things: I have been heart broken because of Love, Friendships and Gossip.
I have found out sometime you didn't want to hurt anyone, but there are
something may suddenly hurt you. And you didn't have any prevention.
"People who can hurt you indeed, always are the one who you
really care and trust." I always thinking about this, so I feel
really bad and inability. Why people always have to hurt someone they love or
even they don't really know?
This time I just want to put my motional into my works, and I
still using flower and subtilise. This time I'm not only showing the pretty of
flower, I want to show the flower also can be sad and dark. Some of my works
are out of focus, its because sometime you have to use differed way to see
things and you may find out something may look good when you didn't see it
clear. When things became out of focus then you can use your imaginations
to look the picture and there is not only flower anymore.
For my final four pictures, I've taken the portrait first and
used Photoshop to mix with my flower pictures. I did use many layer to create
one image and all the colour are come from the flower, it’s interesting to play
with on Photoshop. I’ve used the intensive colours on behalf of the
motional, red, deep blue and green. When I mix all the pictures together there
would become more colour and it seem really interesting.
First picture is a woman who backs to the screen, and didn’t
have any movement. The mean of this one is I was start-getting interference
from many ways and getting lost.
Different colour means different interferences and it start into my body
and heart. So the head had little bit disappear in the background, kind of I
stuck in a slough.
Second picture is a woman who holding herself and shakes the
head with the leaves and flowers. The meaning of this picture is I feel bad and
I really want to get rid of those tiresome things or people out of my head. I
don’t want these bad motional and gossip to hurt me any more.
The third one is a woman who sit down and look relax and the
colour was not strong like the first two pictures. The meaning of this one is
showing that I feel tired and I want to hide myself into a quiet place without
any noise. After I finish this picture I found out there is something really
interesting thing inside the picture. I probably let you find out by yourself!
The last one is a woman who stands and
opens her arm, and the color was strong than before. And it means I’m ready to more on and let everything
go, I will be strong again and those people and gossip would not hurt me
anymore. And I will forgive everything
that make me sad so the right hand of the model seem more light than left hand
because it mean forgiveness.
After I finish these works I feel good and
this time is totally different motional with last time. This time was really
quite dark and painful, but I do like my result. I really hope everyone can
feel it.
