Experimenting with liquid

I was experimenting with different media to create a squeamish subject, I have layered tissue paper capturing a essence of a blood like substance, reflecting the amniotic fluid. The tissue paper has layered over the focus almost reacting as skin within the fluid bag or womb, creating a sense of protection. The bubble I have layered to highlight a sense of life within the piece as it almost reflects the subject breathing. The bubble replicate the amniotic fluid, I have took a photograph of my work whilst the media has first hit the surface to capture the growth of the subject, as when the bubbles fade away, the fetus is developed visual.

This is a close up on my work, which captures a sense of realism of the amniotic fluid which blood like qualities, which I find interesting. This is significant of the natural amniotic fluid protecting the fetus within the human body. I feel the bubbles are suggestive to air bubbles reflecting new life. The organic media has created a sense of movement within the piece capturing a presence of the unborn fetus.

This colour pallet is subtle creating a sense of purity and capturing a clinical element.

These two photographs capturing an essence of growth within the subject, as the bubble deflate reacting as the amniotic fluid the fetus is revealed, as it suggestive as a sense of protection.

I have used a simplistic composition to create a calm and subtle atmosphere, the centre depicts fluidity which surrounds the piece creating a sensual movement, highlighting the natural amniotic fluid.

I have layered tissue paper to the subject to highlight a flesh like quality creating a squeamish texture. The colour pallet is blood like suggestive to the inside of the body. The organic media surrounds the simplistic mark makings creating almost a surreal cocoon. The layers of bubbles almost reflect different particles within the human body, which is a element of providing the fetus of protection and growth. The air bubbles are significant of life and growth as they disappear it brings the fetus into focus suggestive to the development of fetus.
