Sirous Shaghaghi - The Skulls

b) This image was made slowly and carefully, the whole canvas material was painted black in layers to make it nice and dark. The skulls were then painted on layer by layer to build up depth and make them more realistic.
c)The background is very deep and dark and the skulls have a great deal of contrast, addin gthe impact and standing out. However the skulls are a simular tone of colour so they fit in well with the black and don't look extremely abstract and strange.
d) The meaning of this image is so hard to discern, there are so many different possibilities. It dosen't look sad or frightening, merely there, just existing. It could mean that death is simply nothing, just plain, easy simple, it dosen't feel like anything.

Skulls



It was really hard to get any pictures of this one because it was so big, I had to stand on the opposite side of room which also meant that I had to wait for people to move. But it was only on a single story so I didn't have to crane the camera up too much, and I managed to these pictures at least, which aren't too bad.
