I was inspired to create this photograph after I finished my video. This piece shows the process of existence turning into nothingness. In this particular image the model appears to be turning into smoke, as if her existence is being taken away from her. Thus the theme of ‘fragility of existence’ is reiterated through this piece. Her existence in morphing into something as translucent and insignificant and as smoke.
(To set the mood for this piece I juxtaposed a number of skulls to the background which symbolizes massacre and death. I used blending options in photoshop to create this effect, so that the dark imagery was subtle and so that it did not interfere with the rest of the photograph. )
