Mediums
Charcoal
Colouring pencils
Pencil
Soft Pastel
Why I chose this idea
I chose this idea because when I think of looking ahead I think of how humanity can be able to look ahead specifically in the condition of the world
Symbolism
The Roses
Final concept
In my work you will notice that half of my work is shaded in pencil and the other half is done in bright vibrant colors
I shaded the first half in black because I want to show that these are the terrible things that we are doing now represented by the icons shaded in black.
The other half is done in bright vibrant colors to show life and wonder for the things that humanity is looking ahead to to enable us to have a better future
Upon looking at my work you will notice that there are two roses they are to signify the times that humanity have been passing through
The red rose as you can see is colored this is to represent the state of humanity in the future filled with wonderful colors
The black rose is to show how dull the world is and in my opinion I think that the black rose perfectly represents this idea
The Plague doctor
The Plague doctor symbolizes the era of black death hence one of the reasons that it was shaded in black and white because this happened in the past
Nuclear Radiation
Nuclear radiation is placed in the middle since it is a thing that is happening in the present. While proclaimed as a good energy source because it barely produces any carbon dioxide. But people tend to overlook the fact that it emits harmful radiation that won't be safe until hundred of years
