Concentrating on Concentration

Thanks to the amazing help of my lovely and beautiful friend, Abby Friend, she has helped me understand and find more in depth ways to show the idea of connection in my Concentration. With using a chain to link the two or more objects or subjects together I can get the point across more deeply than with my first idea than just simply messing with balance. I've found a few works that go with my idea of connecting two subjects. (None of these following photos belong to me. These works had to be used as links because of copy right terms.)

Concentration

I first began with the idea of water being my concentration. I thought maybe I could take water and show it in all it's forms. But that sounds kind-of boring, doesn't it. So my friend helped me figure out the connection of water and the earth, and it got me to seeing the connections everything in the universe has with something. And I thought this idea of 'connection' would be something I could really look deep into.

Think of it. Even though we like to think of ourselves as independant, we all end up loving something that we can't image our lifes without. So here are some of the ideas I with experiment first with my concentration. (In no order)
- Two lovers. Ex. A boyfriend and a girlfriend. A husband and a wife.
- A mother and her child.
- A photographer with their camera.

With all these photos, I want to have the repeating effect maybe unsymmetrical balance. But I'm not 100% sure on this idea yet.
