Create your own reality




This piece is for the project titled "Create your own reality", in which you have to create a work that defies logic or in some ways, comprehension. So pretty much we have two of my cousins going up a hill on the water reservoir near my house in the sunset. There are seagulls in water puddles around the ground in the slope/hill, which doesn't make any sense but that was the point.

This piece does not have a pattern, or in fact anything that might resemble a pattern unless you count the seagulls as repeating objects that are similar to each other. There is no contrast, almost everything in this picture happens to be colored similarly dark, except for the birds which are slightly brighter. Nothing being emphasized, the picture is meant to be seen as a whole and not specific parts. Has asymmetrical balance, uneven sides if you split the picture in two, and not radial because it's not circle patterned/oriented. Not exactly unity but it manages some parts of the elements of design, unfortunately not enough for me to say it has unity.

This piece has the "your own reality" kind of theme to it, so basically this reality that you can see in the picture is radically different than ours, and so birds stand in land puddles. While something like that would sound insane or drug-influenced, due to this project involving creating the wackiest things ever, it makes sense. I might have done better, had I thought of this project a little more, perhaps some bears or flying elephants would have helped this out.

I feel that the piece was successful in making it seem like you were looking at some alternate reality, which was the ultimate point. The elements of design work out moderately well in this picture, it isn't exactly going to win a damn award or anything. The water puddle by the middle of the hill is done unprofessionally, something I forgot to fix or maybe just didn't care much for.
