Here comes project 1.3! Using the concept of unlimited semiosis, I gathered images that centered around conflict, love, money, relationships, etc. From first sight, I fell in love with these images. I was hung up for a long time on using the crash test dummy image. I became hypnotized by its symbolism and disregarded the visual impact. The result, it got thrown out the window! The image of the couple begins a narrative about young love, the development of relationships, and how elements like money, and power can bring a relationship to shambles. The image of the cupid came a bit later. I think this image of a sneaky little cupid forcing people to love each other adds to the metaphor going on in the image. The crash symbol is still evident in the the dollar bill, as a symbol for the relationship crashing down. This was such an exciting project. I definitely struggled in the beginning, but came upon a much improved, resolved composition. I enjoy this image, so proud of myself! Love this stuff!
