WEEKNINE
TIME
after pondering ideas for this week
iv decided to look at a change over time
Cuba is a country of socialist principles.
The government own the rights to just about everything,
making it merely impossible for the Cuban people
to buy cars, land, houses, earn, even buy food.
For such a vivacious community,
the public are faced with a sever economy issues
resulting in an island stuck in a time warp
and slowly breaking apart.
The faces of the Cuban community
prove that even in a less fortunate world,
you can be happy.
The idea of portraying a simpler and underprivileged lifestyle
in a more cherished light
is something visually mesmerising.
iv chosen this image
as i see it as a canvas for free expression
from the citizens of Santiago
the metal board describes tours
offered to people for money around the city.
Santiago is one of the oldest
and most important cities in the country
it is the home of Cuba's Revolutionary Hero
Fran Pais
and in the 1950s p
aired with Fidel Castro p
proclaimed victory.
Now, many years later
locals are still willing to share the war with anyone willing to listen.
We were informed to bring in objects for our final project
STILL LIFE
in large format
so
i began research still life in a fine art perspective
in order to gain an idea of the composition i should be applying
as well as the lighting and objects.
