Continuing the Reward speech!
In my messages to you I shared, that in OXYGEN project I wanted to explore themes of loneliness and fragility.
Devil hides in details, how we say in Russia. I believe, that every small part is necessary and can say a lot without words.
While creating the look of our heroine, I was heavily inspired with space themes as you noticed. Dark, cold, infinite space. Strangely, when I see beautiful photos from Habl telescope, i feel uncertainsy and uneasiness, besides admiration of how big and beautiful can be the universe, and how insignificant we, humans and our problems, can be.
Another source of inspiration were old tales and legends about moon. We have them in every culture, and share one general idea. Moon is symbol of loneliness, or beautiful maiden who was separated from her lover, or godly being watching on us upon sky. I wanted to incorporate myth in pretty technological design - like cosmonaut maiden. )
Final look revolved around oldschool futuristic posters, contrasty and clean.
And last source of inspiration is the saying, that every living thing are always in search for something. Our constant desire to find purpose in life and in other people. I don't want to believe, that everyone is bad in certain way. I believe, that there always good and beauty in us.
The idea of loneliness appears to me as lack of precious Oxygen. And on other hand my idea of oxygen is strength and inner beauty we all have in us (like flowers in helmet).
I will not explain what each prop we used for what, I just hope understanding and impression, we intended, will get to viewer easily. And if you, as the viewer , found something more than I talked only on surface, that means everything was not in vain. I wanted to share more on my thoughts and explain idea better, but my english vocabulary might ruin everything.
The only thing I regret about this project is the fact, that a lot of beautiful shots left unfinished. What do you think? Do you want to see them? Maybe you have suggestions on how I might handle this? )
I hope you'll like this project and will share on your thoughts.
Wish you strong health and happiness. Thank you for being patience and your trust.
Have a great day! After few days of rest, because I'm tired to my soul, I'll comeback with announcement of our July's project!
