The theme that I am choosing for my photo montage project is going to be centered on a dream that I had a while ago. Dream is definitely one way to put it, but the better word for it would be nightmare. I usually forget what I dream about but this nightmare has always just stuck with me. I have always wanted to express this dream in some sort of way, whether it be a piece of writing or artwork, and this is the perfect opportunity for that.
For my surreal photo montage I wanted to recreate the scenery of a dream that I once had. I used images from the internet, such as a blue Honda Odyssey, burning city buildings, and the empire state building. In the Photoshop application, I cut out the Odyssey from its white background and placed it on top of the empire state building. Next, I copied the car again and pasted it over the other car to present it rocking back and forth. Then, I used the picture of burning city buildings and placed it over the other buildings below the empire state building. Lastly, I edited the photo’s color to match a dark tone as the city is being engulfed in flames.
I always wonder about why I dreamt of this particular moment. My guess is that I was feeling extremely overwhelmed at the time and had a lot of built up stress. The car being on the building while constantly shifting back and forth with nowhere to go represented me feeling stuck with not knowing what or where to go.
