Surrealistic Photomontage

"Collided with Nature"
For my surrealistic photomontage, I did a self-portrait as planned. I was able to incorporate elements of nature, such as colorful butterflies. I originally planned to add flowers, but after adding the butterflies and vines, I did not want my face to look too crowded. The vines were something I came up with while I was editing, and it turned out way better than I had thought! I added vines across my forehead and down my cheek, and overlayed cracks on one side of my face.

Even after places and things have been abandoned or neglected, mother nature claims them again. The surfaces become eroded, peeling away, but something as beautiful as nature stays connected somehow and brings them back to life. I think people are this way too. When we stray away from society's norms and standards, we can do things independently and self-reliantly and find a genuine appreciation for nature.
