Mooi Loop Exhibition

Carrying on with the theme of fragility and transience of life, I am looking into other metaphors that can portray this theme.

For the Mooi Loop Exhibition I want to create my own version of Vet Kat's tree drawings and I would like each tree to be a season. These tree's will be metaphors for the cycle of life and the changings of the seasons which shows transience.

My hydrangeas and army men met

there was a bit of tension...

I really like the shadows created by the hydrangeas as you can see in the picture above, I could do something with the shapes of that shadow!

creating a contrast. Hydrangeas and army men

words that I feel go with my hydrangeas are: delicate, soft, feminine, fragile, fresh.....

now I am thinking about something that could contradict this idea of the hydrangea that i focus on. In a discussion in class an option for showing something or expressing it more was to contradict it or make a contrast with something that is opposite to it. So i was thinking about using my hydrangeas and the theme of transience and fragility and I came up with the idea of using little army men with them to create a contrast or contradiction between the two.
