I decided to take a look at one of the artists given on the brief. This photo particularly stands out to me as i love the lighting she has created on the objects. The objects are very simply laid out, their colours bright as well as their plain background. The simplicity of the objects, the fruit, makes it admirable and easy to look at. The shadow covering the mars on a wooden surface gives the impression of a kitchen work surface. Not yet cleaned, the complete opposite of the surface in light.
Letinsky's photo is actually one of a series, she was known to look at opposites, I've found a quote that i think sums up her work:
"I explore formal relationships between ripeness and decay, delicacy and awkwardness, control and haphazardness, waste and plentitude, pleasure and sustenance."
She's taken objects and compared them to relationships which is pretty interesting. To be honest the photo could represent relationships in itself, a ripeness that will only last for so long before it starts to decay, eventually it'll die and rot away. Its an object with a meaning we can all refer too, if we really see the photo for what it is we can get the contrasting meanings behind it.
I wouldn't say relationships is a subject i could re-create for this project, but this simpleness of an idea is perfect.
