Define metaphor. Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Explain how one of your photos uses objects, colors, arrangement to express meaning. The first photo of the human skull expresses the meaning because by having the human skull that of someone who has died and the flowers that have bright, pretty colors. The skull represents death and the flowers represent beauty and rebirth. What narrative, idea or phrase is your photo communicating? My photos express the beauty in death and rebirth. How did you transform a commonplace photo of the object into an exceptional composition that expresses an idea? I transformed the objects by positioning them in certain ways to make it look like an appealing photo that would still convey the metaphor.
