For my project I choose a statue that is outside my house. This statue has been outside my house since I can remember. I think my grandpa gave brought over to my house when I was younger. What I like about it is how on the statue you can see how much the paint has faded, how much the statue itself has been weathered down overtime, but it still stands. I guess you can say I kind of like the old style, old fashioned look of it. I always like the old classic look of what once was and now is. To me it just tells so much rather than having a new object that has nothing to say.
The statue has a smile on its face, like a smirk you would say, resembling a young boy. The object is sitting down on some sort of hump that the tree grew out. That has always been somewhat of an object that stand out for me. All the shadows and cracks it has creates somewhat of an imaginary object or an object that can be anything in some one’s mind. As the statue, that hump has also been weathered down which created those cracks and shadows in between it. Without all the shadows and cracks it would just be one boring plain object. All though there is just one main focus in this photograph both objects somewhat have a coexistence with one another. In some way you can say that both objects somehow come in harmony together. They both stay still, there both motionless objects, there both mindless objects but yet they say so much without even being able to.
The background of the photograph are plants ,shrubs and bushes. When I took the picture I just wanted somewhat of a background which will make the statue be the main focus and go in part with the tree. But once I look at the picture closely it kind of seems as all the green plants in the background mean in some way new life or young life. The plants are full of color bright green, very sensitive, barely even aged. They haven’t seen what the tree or the statue have seen. So you could say that this picture is somewhat telling of age and time. Everything is bound to have wrinkles, cracks and a deeper sense of age over time. The picture splits into two different situations now, of young and old. But then again the whole picture as a whole shows how nature treats its own over time. What once was and now is.
