Obsession is difficult, because I think it looks different for everyone. How do we identify obsession, and then turn it into something we can see in front of us. I happened to catch this photo this weekend while I was working in San Diego, and I was instantly attracted to the symbolism of this photo. Fire is passionate and uncontrollable — which are two qualities that I identify with obsession. I particularly like the quality of the light in this photo, that the brightest part in the center is framed by hot blue fire. The light captured expresses movement and depth.
I often times have to tell young designers that fire is not just amber and red but have cool colors and purples - this is the best photo I have seen to prove this, I will save it :)
ReplyDeleteNice investigation and representation of obsession :)
