[Project] Found Photo + Manipulation

2013.02.13 Ice Crystals

For our photography assignment I decided to venture outside and be inspired by the weather (snow storm). I found this wire net located outside my dorm with a sheet of snow crystals on it. I am drawn to its clear aspect in contrast to the muddy snow on the ground. It amazes me how two different things from the same source can end up so differently depending on their environment. 


For this photo I would like to respond digitally in the format of a digital collage or drawing. This picture is a combination of nature (ice crystals) and manmade (wire net). Yet, the composition would not be successful without either existence. They depend on each other: the ice crystals need to survive while the wire net desires attention. This intimacy reminds me of our relationship with technology. How technology has become part of this new generation’s life and how much we need them to display ourselves. 

The other theme I'd like to explore is "time." Ice crystals melts in a flash while the wire net remains forever until someone removes it. Yet, we tend to appreciate the beauty of the fleeting over the mundane which is actualy closer to us. Fascination with the "trend" and "beauty" like our addiction to the pop culture is something I'd also like to explore through this photo.
