I really like this photo because it has such a deep meaning, that I'm sure everyone can relate to on one level or another. The black and white shows how solemn the artwork is. I think the key can represent anything, really. The funny part is that the man is trudging along with this burden that can be easily dropped. He could let go of the rope connecting him to his struggles and leave it behind. However, he does not. For some reason, that man feels the strong urge to keep a tight grip on what he believes is his "key to happiness" but in reality, it's holding him back. I love this piece of art because it makes you think. At a first glance, you may miss the whole point of the photo but once you take in a piece of art, such as this one, it becomes a journey.
I like the perception of this picture.
ReplyDeleteI love how they made the key overweigh the picture. Makes you look at it right away.
