I want to capture scenes where figures are completely consumed in thought and emotion. For a few seconds, their physical surroundings are lost and their contemplation makes them lose a sense of reality. These events are brief and most people dismiss these as day dreams or points of overreacting, but I think it is important to investigate these fleeting moments to be aware of exactly what thoughts engross us and why. Through body language, space, and other visual elements I hope to evoke the unique way in which each figure experiences these situations thus challenging the viewer’s perceptions of what is and isn’t reality. www.gracesutherland.carbonmade.com
