Project 3 - The Cyclical Nature of Things - Practice

 So I'm finally starting. Here are some the practices I did with my images. 

With this first one, I was kind of going with the cycle of knowledge. The original photo was the library on campus. There is a continuous cycle of adding and taking books out, or adding new information.

These next photos were of some flowers I found on campus and I thought of the cycle of nature. These two flowers side by side shows what that life blooms beautifully and eventually dies. I played around with Gemni and was able to isolate the flowers and change the background. I added clocks to show that time is always running and is limited. The second one has chloroplasts which is what adds color to plants and as it dies, so does the flower. As a bio major I thought it was funny.

Then this last one is of the founders bell at Durham Park. I am currently rewatching One Piece and I am at Skypiea and I initially wanted to incorporate that in someway. Also to tie in with the projects theme, I added the angles to add a spiritual aspect to it. Catholicism for example uses bells in the Eucharistic cycle and use bells to mark Christs triumph over death. There is also other religions where they use bells to announce life and death.
