For my concept I wanted to create a chaotic scene inspired by insanity and intrusive thoughts. The spiraling red background symbolizes a tangled and overwhelming mess of thoughts inside people’s heads. The overwhelming frustration from these pressures is pushing the subject to hysteria until they reach an eventual breaking point. The fragmented faces of the subject are blurred and morphed together, screaming and grabbing onto their throat, implying the subject is wildly throwing their head around in panic. Through distortion, movement, and color contrast I wanted my piece to be a reflection on how overwhelming emotions can distort perception or make you feel like you are losing control.
All of the components in my piece were original photos that I took at home. For the background I made light trails in a dark room with a phone flashlight, then recolored them and overlapped multiple of them to create the busy effect that I wanted. I used my roommate as the subject and used a variety of blur filters and tools to blend the angles together.
