This photo was taken of myself on the side entrance steps of the Grand Theatre. The work is figurative conveying a young woman sitting on the steps thinking, dreaming about life. The subject itself is farther away and not centered, however the attention of the photo's dynamics adds a direct focus to the subject at hand. The lines of the staircase ramp and the lines of the actual steps draw attention to the subject, while the textures of the bush contrast with those of the wall near the subject. This photo was intentionally focused in order to create a more clear and figurative image. I believe the artist was trying to convey a sense of hope and and clarity (shown in the lightness of the photo), while simultaneously depicting a darkness above, that has been shadowing her, her throughout her life. I think the work is a success because of the convictions it displays and I, being the subject, believe that the overall outcome of the composition is intriguing.
