Diptych

For this assignment, I was instructed to create two diptychs with two separate images as a complementary pair. A diptych creates or implies a relationship to form one single artistic statement.

For my first diptych, I went with secrets as my theme. I tried to make the images almost touch by having the lock off centered towards the right and having my model framed more towards the left side of frame.

For the second one, I was trying to show how social media has taken us captive in a way. We are all focused on liking, tagging, checking into life’s moments and not always enjoying a moment even though they are fleeting. I myself enjoy my social networks, but unplugging a bit from time to time can’t hurt. Keeps you grounded.  I used another ball joint object, this time being a hand. I wanted it to be puppet like to further get the message across. In the partner image, I went with a cord wrapped around an image cut out of the earth to again, further explain, my message. I like how the shadow came out in the image of the hand.
