RATIONALE

RATIONALE

A trip to another country had inspired me a lot. The thought of animals being locked up in cages, irritates me. We want freedom so do they.

A young elephant in a bird's body, staring at the almost invisible 'butterflies' leading to words : "I'm Free". How does this appeals to you as a viewer. The idea behind is to convey a contradictory message. Ideas comes from photographs of my own.

To achieve the surrealism style which is so different from my style, i thought of the "story plot" of the 'hopeless elephant'. I combined both Surrealism Collage style and the modern abstract art to form this blog skin.

Birds, butterflies (and etcs) can signify all kinds of things. Sometimes, they symbolises freedom and release from danger, perhaps. Other kinds of flies can be prophetic, like messengers, they are here to warn us of something dark on the horizon.

I like the multiplicity of interpretations. It allows there to be space in the image for a variety of interpretations and also nurture the power of imagination.

And not forgetting the red lines which gives a sense of appeal that invites people into the image. It also represents cages. The word 'Escape' not only to animals is strong, but also to we, humans.

In conclusion, it's up to the viewer to think and branch up their thoughts. Just like when you are watching a film. You need to watch and think at the same time then come into all kinds of conclusions.
