Gregor’s Room




     The very bizarre nature of the Metamorphosis really stood out to me right away, so I wanted to depict a unfamiliar atmosphere in what is supposed to be a very familiar setting; your own bedroom. I made Gregor into a limbless ball with a thin head to capture that helpless feeling that was omnipresent in the beginning of the story when he could not leave his bed. The scale is help create the almost Alice in Wonderland like feeling. The clock is simply there to show how long he has been in bed and the perceived futility to even leave his bed he had at first. The colors I choose are representing a sickly and disheveled space to depict Gregor’s miserable nature.

As obviously depicted, I wanted to show how the loss of a limb can affect som

 “Group Isolation” Shot on iPhone.  THE THING (1998)          The piece was very simple to execute once I had the idea in my head. At first I wanted to it to be a science experiment but I changed my mind as it would have been to on the nose. The clean and sterile atmosphere was something I wanted to keep from that idea though. My thoughts behind the odd shape of the table cloth was to create the feeling of the mob closing in. The apparent classier nature of the bottom soup can is depicting a outlier that is out of their depth, they have need to appease the masses or try to blend in but they can’t do either. The trio of cans are can represent two things, a scared group looking to a stoic leader cut from a different cloth or a mob that wants to assimilate all of those not like them.
