Graveyard Shift

Graveyard Shift is a diptych picture of two black and white images, that both contain elements of graffiti. Recently I have been drawn to graffiti and murals, and my goal has been to add to the artwork through other elements in the picture rather than taking a picture of the graffiti head-on. This goal inspired me to create a diptych so that I could relate two pictures together, and make each picture stronger by putting them next to another. When taking these pictures I wanted to capture the essence of graffiti and express an artist's state of mind. I also paid attention to the shape, and textures that surrounded the graffiti, but also to the contrast between the two pictures and the white-to-black ratio to balance the diptych. I am proud that I was able to add to the pictures and create a story by connecting them.

Creativity is the freedom to express yourself. Creativity gives you a wide range of possibilities and accepts all unique ideas. I think it is really important to be creative when creating art because it helps you stay true to yourself by creating something original and unique.
