"SAD" Final Lightbox Project


The "SAD" (Sex, Alcohol, Drugs) piece demonstrates the intense imagery of destructive behavior led by these three life altering subjects. Sex, Alcohol and drugs can be used for many reasons for some are still clueless as to what that is, however in some fashion this trio will in someway have intent to escape the everyday rat race, Sex, Alcohol and drugs help you escape from reality for a momentary point in time that leads you to the ultimate consequences. When you return from your high, buzz, or bliss you're going to hit the ground pretty hard. This can lead to the eye opening affects that this trio can impact your body and life. However, these three can be the ever-lasting and be a devastating loop that will be a life long struggle to escape. People's desire to improve their interaction with peers and adults often leads them to experiment with sex, alcohol, and drugs (SAD). For many the reality about the SAD scene is a personal threat and they tend to impose these upon people without regret. This piece is to expanded in an effort to help people communicate more effectively on these tension producing subjects. 

Using a light-box is inspired by the media to depict subjects with intesnsity. The huge interest generated from this work has encouraged me to continue exploring this medium and create further pieces. A truly captivating and striking piece with the use of negative and positive light with hopes to stand out from the rest of pieces. The use of a light-box stems from Jeff Glass; His signature works are large transparencies mounted on light boxes; he conceived this format when he saw back-lit advertisements at bus stops during a trip between Spain and London. Since the mid-1990s, Wall has also made large scale black and white photographs. The use of a light-box with intention to display something meaningful and with depth beautifully amplifies the powerful wash of light and shadow which itself belies the light-box.

Website Re-Purposing

     Artist Summary: Re-purpose this site conveyed the fashion world’s self-image controversy of looking healthy and beautiful. Fashion magazines feature models that look unhealthy and skinny “selling” the subliminal message to either buy products or treatments to look as they do. All images chosen for this piece were for their appearance of unhealthiness, and not the beauty that is found in the real world today. The composition expressed reality and the false perception of beauty.

Triptych Digital Montage

All three compositions were designed differently but show the same overall image intensity per each montage. Showing collective images will catch your attention and attract your eyes along the way.
