In a Better Place, Hopefully | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #142 (Complimentary)

LMAC-Round142-Ver3.png

It's time for Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). This week in Round 142, I wanted to step out of the dark and dramatic and a bit into a more happier environment. Don't know how long this feeling will last, so I'm making the most of it. Since the contest photo mainly consists of water, I hope you can locate the image in my scenes.

To create the setting, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 142 - ✨171 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

COLLAGE #1: Land of Discovery

In my first collage, I wanted to capture the wonder of exploring the world through reading. Children are at play. But while engaged in activities, they can also learn about the world and how they connect with it.

To create this first collage, I discovered a nice background suitable for inclusion in a scene involving children. In utilizing the contest image, only the a portion of the water element behind the book can be seen. Of particular interest were the images I obtained from LMAC members at the LIL. The children, other worldly objects and animals combined to create a fantasy landscape of discovery. I uploaded the contest photo and all image into Canva to utilize my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

COLLAGE #2: A Positive Outlook

In my second collage theme, I wanted to portray hope in the midst of evil. There is sometimes a silver lining to situations that feel hopeless. White symbolizes good and sometimes a new beginning. It may even signify emerging from darkness. I discovered a photo that included praying hands. It could be depicted as a praying to evil spirits. However, I transformed it to pray for good and a light to shine bright out of darkness.

To create the collage, I again relied up on Canva to blend all the images I included. If you look closely, you can the faint outline of the contest image behind the right statute. The small boat can be seen. The LIL images provided the symbols of white and purity I was attempting to convey. Thanks to all LIL members for your inspiring images.
