Image Essay #2

I think that this picture is a good example of what we are currently doing in class. To me this composition represents tension. All of the lines go off of the page, breaking the picture plane and look as if they are all pulling at a constant strength making the tension in the middle of the composition. The middle of the picture (where the tension is) also looks like there are contour lines, which makes sense because people are three dimensional and the lines make it so you can kind of see more of the back of the person and it looks like the whole picture is than more three dimensional. I also think that this picture can represent synesthesia because when looking at it, I see pain in that person and I also feel it. Also, this compostion is dramatic and the tension in the middle is very dominent but there is also dominent negative space to the right of it.
