So with this first piece I want it to be my opening for the rest of the year. The important thing I want to convey is the beginning to the end of sugarcoating and allowing the hard conversations to happen. As of now I want to do this through contrast and texture. I am playing with the idea of feathers and stone to represent the normal conversations we have day to day, and the downplaying and sugarcoating that happens a lot. The stones will represent the hard truth that is often hidden. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to convey this image specifically. However, I know I want to make the illusion of the stone coming through the feathers so there will be a lot of play with layers in this project.
