Safe Haven (SV3). Digital collage.
Another artwork from the digital collage series titled Small Visions and this time i used the following 3 keywords as inspiration Protection, Safety and Toughness.
I had to improvise and i remembered in our conversations with the client that he mentioned the turtle shell. It was an inspiration i could work with and so i took the part of the photo showing the child and combined it with a turtle shell to make my main theme. The oval frame helped a lot to create the small window to the shell and all i had to do was to fit the child inside. Safe from any harm.
All of the 100 creations are based on a photograph of a child in nature, sometimes a forest others in a seascape or a mountain. The title also comes from this idea, what you see is the vision of the child which is dreamy and colourful. In most of the artworks i cropped the image of the child from the background and add it in a new environment, but in this one i had a lot of difficulty because the photo was a reflection on a lake surface.
The set hands is a simple stock photo that suited my needs both in symbolism and technical composition though it took me a while to adjust the colours and position. Crystals correspond great with the shell to amplify the message of toughness and the warm pink hues along with the flock of pigeons spread a feeling of serenity.

What a neat idea! Awesome way to display a photograph.
I am really happy that you like it:)
Beautiful, my favorite form of visual art is collage, like yours, when different pictures are taken and pasted together to form a new picture. I used to do it with cut and paste magazine pictures and a pair of scissors and glue.
I am happy that you like it:) Collage is a n easy art medium and leaves a lot of space for the imagination. I also did a lot of handcut collages, actually handcut is what i was doing for the past 15 years:)
That's pretty neat! And kinda trippy. lol. I could see it in a movie where they would say something like "gaze into the magic turtle shell to find your destiny".
Hahaha, this would have been so cool. Thank you for your kind words:)

Symbolism beautifully presented in your collage. It feels so safe, I want to be inside a turtle shell too. Must have taken a lot of hours to finish your art.
Thank you so much, i am happy that the artwork makes you feel this way. Truth be told the basic idea did not took a lot of time but i had to change the finished one 2-3 times.
