Fourth Photo

For my fourth and final photo i aimed to conclude the evidence of my research and experimentation adding an almost twisted narrative to its theme, it would be the last of my photos so was to be based upon the last days of this decade when families began to erupt and all social standpoints became blurred, previous sets and guidelines fell, the 50s nuclear family period was over, but what was to happen to future generations. Were they better off in their false pretence or by going by today's divorce rate records have we as a humanitarian response dragged them through some unobjectionable emotional battlefield.

I Knew before I gathered the photos the direction in which I wanted to take, this meant grabbing my resources was intentionally direct, I needed the almost psychotic reaction of the 50s parents, to which I found the smiling picture. I then need to add the context which would make the photo become jarringly surreal. I extracted elements from other photos including children who looked in a state of coma or death, took the image of what looks like a shallow grave and combined together. What I created was as much of a monster as the era.
