UNsweet


By David Soriano

The goal of my work is to make the invisible visible. It contains a variety of objects and shapes; some of them are abstract or could be interpreted different ways by the viewer. Is the circle the sun or moon illuminating the tree? The shells become ghostly and abstract, shadows of their shape. I wanted to create a contrast between the word 'SWEET' in the image and the image itself which is dark and haunted.

The word 'SWEET' and the mood of the picture creates a juxtaposition and adds a darker theme to the cyanotype. The dark mood is demonstrated by the sharp lines and faint colors. The work of art evokes a harsh mood and is full of ambiguity as a result of the items used in its creation. I want the viewer to think about this ambiguity and get an experience of unease when looking at my image.
