Found Meaning

I began this piece wanting to make something classically beautiful but then came out with a commentary on my own work. A lot of the time I get into my own head when it comes to things I make because they're a little strange and it's hard for me to recognize that something I make is good because things can get weird. This is showing how I hold myself back because of the fear of going too far. The first image is how it exported and the second one is the cropped version. I might like the first one more but I'm not sure.

Mess or Everyday

Image
  My concept in one word is "Mess". I wish I could've been working on things more but it feels like everything is falling apart in my personal life and every time I try to work on this I can't really get anywhere. The thing on the top is a washing machine with my car's gear shift in it. It broke down this weekend in Asheville so I had to get towed from there and then my partner's parents had to come get us. I put the road because we can never get away from it and every time we drive it's a cycle of going somewhere and coming back. It's a similar thing with the gear shift and washing machine, we always come back (and they have their own cycles). I added my hamster because when I come home I see him. I am realizing that another concept could be "everyday". Sorry if I shared too much. Please let me know some more ideas if you have some. I'm feeling stuck.

Idea?

  I'm thinking about maybe creating a GIF. Maybe something that has to do with all of the fires going on right now. I am thinking about a silhouette of a person going and building a town. Eventually the town grows to cover the page(?) and becomes widely popular (like L.A.). and then a large fire comes in and wipes it out which could end up making the perfect loop with the silhouette coming over to restart the process. Maybe this could be done with figures cut out with paper and then the fire effect was added in later with editing or something?

Trying Some Things

Image
 I've been playing in Photoshop and I really like where this is heading! I have been having trouble thinking of other things to do with the photo of Mr. John. If you have any ideas or think that I am doing something well let me know! I need all the help I can get. I don't know what it is but it's been harder for me to think of ideas.
