Oftentimes many artists create pieces that serve as commentary on the world around them
and how people interact within it. Making use of the self directed freedom, I plan on using my
work as a way to explore this, though more as a way to question what is considered the extent
our world- the physical surroundings or the cultural bubble. I find myself drawn to the design
and purpose of works done by photographers such as Ansel Adams and Steve McCurry, who use
their images as a way to convey the beauty of the physical world and its inhabitants as they are,
while accentuating certain elements, such as light and color, to make the work visually
intriguing. As a way to execute these plans, I want to also juxtapose like images with elements of
pop art, which generally have a deeper contextual meaning. While this style of art is commentary
on popular culture, it concerns the aesthetics of its location. In this exploration I hope to combine
contrasting elements to find ways to convey what comprises the world around us.
