Working Title: Tendrils
The message of my triptych will be to notice and cherish urban vegetation. The balance of greenery and structures in the city entices me. I want to emphasize and promote urban vegetation through contrasting urbanization and greenery.
I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs of plants and nature. I want to emphasize the use of color in my photography as the colors of nature and infrastructure are often vastly different.
Another theme I would like to incorporate into my photography is human efforts to preserve nature during rapid industrialization. I want to bring attention to parts of the city that do respect nature, and plants that persist through times of difficulty in survival.
I plan on conveying my message through:
- Photographing urban greenery through bars (which are symbols for urbanization and structures).
- Framing greenery on one side and urban elements on the other
- Contrasting the colors of vegetation and structures in the 798
Backup Vision (too specific to focus for the field trip):

Message: The message of my triptych will be to live fully in the present. Time will continuously move us forward in our journey of life. There is no going back. I want to remind the audience that there are so many beautiful things in life around them, so treasure the moment and look back with no regrets.
I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that show time progression in unique ways. I will also look for symbolism in photos of childhood, growth, and elderly life.
I will convey this message by photographing hallways. The hallways symbolize how we can only go forward in time, and the scenery on the side represents events in life that we have a limited amount of time to enjoy until time pushes us forward.
Three Photos:
