yellow wallpaper...

This photo is my interpretation of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper". The book is about a crazy woman who writes about her insanity while living in a rented house. The room in which she is staying in has horrid yellow wallpaper, which feeds her insanity. To represent the story, i used a notebook with writing and a pencil to symbolise her telling her story. She was an author and she loved to write but her husband banned her from doing so, which is why the pencil tip is broken. It also shows how her spirit has been broken. The withered flowers also have a double meaning. They are yellow to represent the wallpaper, but they are also withered to show her withering soul. For this photo i used the blur overlay effect, but instead of overlay I used soft lighting. I also burned the edges slightly to get a darker, more ominous feeling.
