Touch



Translucent
Digital Drawing on Edited Photograph


 "Our Skin is a kind of spacesuit in which we maneuver through an atmosphere of harsh gases, cosmic rays, radiation from the sun, and obstacles of all sorts."
A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman, p. 101


Statement:
In this photo, I took photos in order to emphasize my skin, as I wanted to play on the skin space suit idea by editing my skin to look like it was actually made of space. The glitch effect was added in order to convey that harshness that people often use to describe what space is like physically.


Caked Toes
Photoshopped Photograph


 "The squish of wet sand between the toes. Pressing on an angel food cake."
A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman, p. 119


Statement: 
The word soft is defined as having a pleasing quality through subtle effect which can be used to describe wet sand. For this photo, I again, took a literal approach of the metaphor being talked about as it depicts a softly edited image of my toes pressing on cake.
