Week 7 CPS (Time)

In response to the week’s theme of Time, By juxtaposing two natural events, a  daytime colorful and healthy environment against a night time desert landscape, I wanted to depict the passage of time. I added a human element by having a hand holding a mirror and youth stare in the mirror to elicit a sensation of reflection in the spectator of their current situation but also to realize that with the passage of time ; their fate will be like that of a desert with nothing but dust. Pink and a gerbera flower were chosen because they represent youth, innocence, and joy, making them a wonderful match for this piece. The color green and yellow are also intentionally used to represent youth and fertility

I was inspired by Christina Daura’s work whose process always begins by dividing her compositions into multiple panels, allowing the story to unfold across the page from various points of view.
