Meaning
The meaning for this image is that the miner is a distant relative to the person denoted in the image, where he is looking to the miner. I wanted to create an unusual, almost nostalgic feel with the colours as I was inspired by old colour photographs from the 1970s where the colours are slightly washed out, which adds to the nostalgic emotions I wanted to connote. I imagined a story where the person in the image is confused about what he wants to do with his life, and so turned to looking at the city for inspiration, where he remembered his relative. I made the shot into a landscape, but cropped into more of a square than a rectangle as I wanted to connote the relevance of the miner and the person, alongside the skyline. I didn't want one factor to overpower the other however, so I went with this cropping. The identity in this image is of the person searching for his identity, where nostalgia turns out to be a major aspect to it.
Method of Display
This would be displayed on a canvas which would require a moderately big size of 24 x 24 to allow for all the detail in the skyline to be shown clearly and at a good size. This would cost around £80.
