The In-Between

I made this art work to show the feeling of in-between.  That time when things are starting to look up but the negative of what has happened is still there and gripping.  I believe I have captured that feeling well in this piece.  I also believe that this piece can speak to many people.

This piece started with the background. At first I just wanted to make a modern art work that was visually appealing.  Then I added the blue as contrast and to show that feeling of in-between.  I then thought to express my idea further with the brick built figure.

The background is constructed out of many different pieces that flow into one texture.

The figure and his surrounding area are built out of grey to show how his world is gloomy and prospects low.  But he is looking up to show that he has hope and beginning to see the other side.
