Water

I can picture waves curling up in the ocean, droplets of dew delicately placed on strands of grass. I imagine a beautiful couple embracing each other’s warmth and touch in the pouring rain. Water suggests such an array of things, from passion, to sensuality, sex, freshness, insanity, growth, distress. I also associate deep, pounding, and rhythmical sounds with the element water. The pounding or tapping of rain, the roaring of rising waves or waterfalls. I want my final piece to suggest sounds. The sounds can be anything from absolute eerie silence, to the pounding of water from a waterfall forcefully crashing upon rocks. If a person looks deep enough into an image, they can fully experience the world being portrayed. They can feel the pain of the character, if the image allows, the intensity of the surroundings, the sounds of nature. 

Air

I chose to explore the element Air because similarly to water, I am inspired by the flow of it. I also adore how Air is absolutely everywhere. It is what we breath, what we are, what is not visible to the eye but very influential. I have been thinking a lot about elements throughout this project, and I only just realized how powerful the concept of air is. It is what connects each and every human in this world. It makes us one. It is what we share. The wind brings troubles, joys, and carries away the past. Air holds the future, and is what the future will be made of. In my final I intend on surrounding myself with air and emphasizing it’s importance and influence in everyday lives. Air will not be transparent in my final, as I think air is far too significant and thoroughly intriguing to be transparent. I hope that upon viewing my final piece, my audience will be able to understand the power of air in the character’s life, and possibly embrace the air that surrounds THEM in their lives.
