The theme for this project was ‘Island’, in any sense of the word. Our project is both literal and metaphoric. We decided to approach the literal meaning of the term by choosing three real life islands: Ilha das Flores (Flower Island), Azores, Ilha do Mel (Honey Island), Brazil and Ilha do Sal (Salt Island), Cabo Verde. Each photograph contains the actual object associated with the islands: flowers, honey and salt.
The environments you see below are the metaphorical part. The colours in the background represent the object, the island itself, and the blue covered hand is the sea that surrounds all islands and also identifies them as such. There are three shades of each colour as a reference of the three islands that make this project and the hand or sea interacts with all of them. |
