elements photograph

 

The subject is a young girl whom is surrounded by the leaves of a palm tree and she's secretly smiling to herself. The focus is mainly on the subject with the background blurred and the photograph is taken with the idea of the rule of thirds. I believe the artist wanted to convey that it is okay to step outside of society's conventional outlook of what young people should act like, and that it is okay to be yourself, through the sense of isolation through the girl's position inside the leaves, and her comfort in her own solace. I think the work was successful in conveying this message.
