Ps HW 2

 











I feel a rush of emotions as I look at the picture of a women uniting to eradicate malaria. It looks simply elegant at first. But hidden beneath this simplicity is a great force, proof of the human race's ability to pull together in the face of hardship. As a black individual, this image resonates deeply with me on multiple levels. It speaks to the resilience ingrained within my community, a resilience born out of centuries of struggle and triumph. I see in these champions not only a determination to eradicate malaria but also a reflection of the power and strength that permeates black culture. 

 

Moreover, this image embodies a message of disease awareness and inclusion. In the diversity of the champions depicted, I see a celebration of all abilities, a reminder that every individual has a role to play in the fight against malaria. As someone with a personal connection to disability awareness, I am inspired by the inclusivity depicted in this image, reminding me of the importance of recognizing and valuing the contributions of every member of society.  It is not just the visual aesthetics that captivate me, but rather the beauty of solidarity, of people coming together from all walks of life to combat a common enemy.



Every element in the understated beauty of this simple image speaks to the depth of life's journey. Within its borders, hope coexists with perseverance, beauty blends with imperfections, and suffering endures alongside prosperity. It celebrates my mother's birthday and her sincere want to have a mother-daughter portrait hanging on our wall, all while capturing a tender moment of celebration. I see the lines and shapes of it, the wear and tear of hardships, but also the undying determination of resilience developed in hardship. It represents more than simply a single instant caught in time; rather, it stands as a tribute to the enduring love that a mother has for her daughter, the lessons learned from adversity, and the unrestricted hope for a better future.

  The strong emotional connection this image embodies led to the choice to colorize it from black and white. It was taken at a special photo session with my mother and captures the love, enduring bond, and trust that exist between us. When the artwork was first created in black and white, it had depth and inspiration that never went out of style. However, adding color again gave it fresh vibrancy and made the scene happier and more cheery. The vivid colors not only made the scene more visually appealing but also reflected the warmth and excitement that filled our relationship, turning a lovely moment into a spectacular celebration of connection and love.
