PROJECTED IDENTITY

In my projected identity i have included personal objects to show my personality. The background is formed by a wheel of different colors. In the middle of the piece two hands are holding a big camera. Next to it, in the top part of the piece, are some objects: a nail polish, a pencil and sharpener, a seashell, a 5 euro bill, some sunglasses, an airplane ticket and a seashell necklace. In the bottom part, a ribbon forms letters to spell “identity”.

 

The piece has a pattern in the background, formed by the wheel of different color paints, on top of which are positioned the elements of the picture. There is a great contrast formed by the bright colors in the background and the dark colors of the camera. There is also a big contrast between the different textures of the elements and all the different shapes. There is emphasis on the letters at the bottom of the picture. They are bright, therefore stand out against the dark background and bring attention to what the piece is really about: identity. All the different textures and elements present a very interesting unity in the picture.

The meaning and message of this piece are to show my personality, every element in this composition says a little about my hobbies and likes. I am very interested in design, photography and I love art. I think this is shown with the creative background (drawn with nail polish), the camera and the pencil. I am interested in makeup and beauty and that is why I included the nail polish. The airplane ticket shows that I love travelling and have been in many different places, this is also reflected by the sunglasses, and the necklace I got when I visited Hawaii. The seashell belongs to a necklace and has a personal value because it was given to me by a close relative. The letters created by ribbons symbolize that I like being creative. This piece says a lot about me, because it is about me.
