Work statement: Revelation is meant to symbolize the state of mind of a young artist. Through the growth from thinking inside the “Box” to thinking outside the “Box”. Thoughts are signified through the clouds that loom overhead, as well as in the potted plant that coexists. The enclosed box supports the idea of being restricted in reasoning and abilities, which grows with every image. The first four images are about everyday life: sleeping, thinking, eating and working. The last two photographs have more of a self-discovery/nirvana-esque connotation to them. I have a revelation that there is more than just a world full of repetitive tasks inside of the “Box”. In the penultimate image I lay awestruck on the floor of the box. Lastly, I become free from all restraints, and find what ultimately makes me happy. Freedom. |
