Collage exploration has begun.
155/365 // maybe I imagined it
156/365 // there is no easy way out
It’s going well.
157/365 // (Gone) have I been fading away? Shapeshifter, there’s no way back
inspired by “gone” by knuckle puck
It’s the 5th of June. Every time it’s the 5th of June, I think of the song Gone by Knuckle Puck
But I'll still think of you on the fifth of June
'Cause when I saw you, I lost you all over again
This song is especially visual so it worked out well to continue the collage theme. But I have also been wanting to do this dispersion technique — where it looks like a person or object is “disappearing”. I teach it but don’t often use it in my own editing.
Doesn't it feel good to be invisible?
(Gone) just like the way I used to be
(Gone) have I been fading away?
So when I remembered “the 5th of June” I knew I could combine the dispersion technique with the visual words within the song.
You're a shapeshifter, you're never gonna get the girl
There's no way back, there's no way back
You're a shapeshifter, you're never gonna change the world
There's no way back, there's no way back
I like the word shapeshifter and as you may have noticed, I have a lot of photographs of birds. I took one of my favorites and allowed that to be the thing the figure is “dispersed” into, shape shifts into... It felt a bit incomplete until I added an “up is down, down is up” backdrop of this yellow house. This is why you save all the photos you take…
