Remaining or Becoming: A Senior Surreal Photo by Zia Absar (2013)

I made this piece by using HDR and a lot of masking. First, I took a HDR picture of the clouds, adding some unique textures that make the clouds look as if it is about to rain. I also masked on an eye in the middle of the clouds and made it look like the sun. I wanted to put an eye there to represent how your identity remains the same. However, the clouds represent change and becoming something new. Then I painted a flower to put inside of the eye. This made the eye resplendent and also created an unexpected juxtaposition of remaining and becoming.
