When it is announced that my new topic in art is 'Relationships', I am immediately reluctant to explore ideas of the standard definition of relationships. I want to stay as far away from Romeo and Juliet as possible! So, I soon start thinking about the relationships between the human race in general and our environment. What is our relationship with each other? How do people in Russia effect people in Haiti? What is our relationship with our environment? How is Earth effecting the Universe? What is our relationship with nature? How do our actions effect wildlife?
To begin looking at these different ideas, and the art I could create when answering these questions, I researched digital artist: Federico Bebber.
Bebber was born in 1974 in Italy and he creates digital photo edits that are often portraying very dark themes. The surreal pieces depict the relationships and similarities between nature and emotion, which works well with the concepts I had had. Many of Bebber's surreal pieces edit women's faces with elements of nature, like birds and insects, or plants and clouds. these pieces are so captivating because of the beauty displayed in both elements, which makes his work so relevant to mine as I am interested in the relationships between humans and the world around us.
Taking everything I have seen in Bebber's work, I conducted my own photoshoot and went on to edit these photos, into Bebber-esque photos, combining my favourite parts of his work...
