Turning point [TOP100]
The strong union between two people can be salvation against the decay of this world. Even without vision but with that person as a mainstay, you can feel art in the middle of darkness.
The black paint spilled on the couple symbolizes the decadence of this world and bad experiences during life such as drowning or lack of hope. The black paint is covering up the orange and blue paints. These colors are complementary. The orange color symbolizes life, hope and joy, and the blue color symbolizes health and generosity. With all this, we all start this life. Nevertheless these colors are gradually being covered by black paint.
I have used such a close shot to cause and accentuate that feeling of suffocation. With this shot I didnt allow more space in front of the couple (in the left side) because I wanted to deepen this feeling of overwhelm and drowning.
