THE OBJECT
Today I researched still life paintings. I think the still life by Harmen Steenwyck, 1640, and the vanitas still life by Jan Jansz Treck, 1648, in the National Gallery, London, are interesting. Every object has a different meaning.
In the image I will make it will have a meaning using a skull, so long as you are alive you will have time to do the activities that are shown in the paintings. So I thought I would do something similar. I like diving and climbing, so I will take a fish tank and put some water and stones and small rocks in the tank. I am using the water to represent diving and rocks to represent climbing and I will put a skull and a watch next to the objects so they could mean that you only have a little amount of time left in your life.
The lighting shoot will be stronger on the tank and darker on the skull. The light will come from the left. The reason for this choice is to show that the objects on the left represent life and in the shadow the objects represent death.
