While the message of this piece is quite obvious, I would like to note the choices made in its design to guide the viewer through the image. A face and a hand were deliberately included in the collage to draw people's attention, as these are both symbols which the eye gravitates towards. Bold red was used on particular objects in the design whose purpose is twofold. Firstly, the color accentuates these objects which are particularly harmful for the environment and our ecosystems, making the viewer more aware of their presence and associating them with this agressive color. Secondly, these objects all contain lines and curves that redirect the eye to the center. By highlighting these objects, the eye falls on these lines and curves and follows them back to the silent face.
This mixed media photo collage piece was created in Photoshop. Several of the photographs in the piece were shot by myself, and other images were found on the internet with license for reuse with modification.
