2D-beeldonderzoek, a series of 10 images about shadow

I'm finally finished with my series about shadow. The assignment was to research portraying images about shadow while using a literary text that has the theme of shadow in it. Mine was about a thief lurking in the shadows. So all my views where outside the light, watching what is happening in the light. To find out what i can tell without showing the subjects. The first photo is my composition of how im going to show them to my teacher at the judgement day. As you can see the biggest one is in the middle, because it means the most for me.






I made it look like as if I am looking from a distance at what all those people are going to. Visually it is a HUGE doorway/opening from which a warm, almost fire-like light shines. The exterior of the building or whatever the door leads to is covered in dark-mist that tries to cover the opening.
It means so much for me because it portrays how i feel towards society: I'm in a distant position. Almost looking with envy at the crowd in the doorway, but also with a feeling of relief not having to follow them into the light.(comment on image above)

Lots of doors.

As you are crazy with art, I am crazy with words. To quote my anonymous but outspoken friend:"Are you okay? You know... mentally? I'm fine if you're not, I just, you know..."
