1, Shocked by the recent event happening in province Feng, the overall concept for my Diptych project would be to convey how cruel and inhumane kidnapping and selling are to women.
2, As for the left side of the image, I intent to do a image of chains, extending to the up frame and the bottom frame. As for the right side, I intent to do a photo of women smiling and doing their own daily work. I will also find a place in the right side that represents an object with similar shape as the chain to make the transition and connection better. They together convey an image of how near, how common this inhumane incident is to the women close to us, even in urban area, that some people in rural area who are haunted by the outdated part of tradition still devalue women in every bit of their action.
3, As for the left side, I intent to take an image of a black chain in a relatively gloomy area, or something with the similar shape with chain. But the overall atmosphere has to be horrid so the combination of color is important here, there can be no warmful color in the left image. As for the right side, I intend to take an image of a woman doing their own work and that work has an object that has a similar shape to the chain to represent the connection. The overall atmosphere has to be delightful and relaxing, to make an contrast with the image on the left.
4, I plan to manipulate the left image with the darker effect in Photoshop, and add some sticker or post on the dark background of the left image to show how equality and the rights movement are destroyed by the rooted traditional thought in people’s mind, how those tools fail to hit through the bubble that the tradition thought has created. As for the right one, I intent to put some sticker and post to show how progressive and liberal thoughts, how much progress we’ve made. Those posts can be some sentences about the importance of independent thought, the free choice of job, of marriage, of sex, of gender. I want to add these by PS just to add more contrasts.
