Minimalistic

Artist Statement;

This is a photo I took of the roof of my house the other evening. I took this photo on a somewhat cloudy day which is why there are clouds in the photo. I also took it around sunset with is why there is a little hint of color in the clouds and why the overall photo is quite dark. I like this photo because although one could make the argument that the clouds make this photo un-simplistic, I think that even with this detail the photo still looks quite simple with the dark, almost silhouette of the building. I also think that although the white detail around the edge is visible, it does not add too much detail to the point where its messy. Lastly, in this photo I used formal balance by putting the point of the roof in the center of the photo with the rest of the edges of the roof on the side. There is also low horizon line because in the image, the sky starts very low.
