Two of the most common themes in my photography have always been people and nature. When the Line, Shape, Form assignment was given to us, I immediately started to form ideas in my head - most of them involving my two most common themes. It's with that brainstorm that I came up with the idea of, in a sense, 'intertwining' nature and body parts and to form lines, shapes, and forms. My project will consist of sets of two images that blend and nature and people. I chose this photograph by Olivia Bell because, although it isn't exactly what I'm doing, it's close and it blends a person's hand and art, all while showing interesting lines and shapes. I think what really captures me is the focus on the hand and the plant and the very out of focus background - it draws the eye in.
