Headgear | Courage | Daring
First thing that comes into my mind when I thinks of COURAGE is ability to do something daring, extraordinary, This headgear is inspired from fishes, I have interpreted courage to be strength in the face pain and grief. When people face pain in life, people come together to support each other. This help motivating each other fight pain. People together comprise of moral and physical strength. I have used the idea of how animals help and work together when they face challenges.
Fishes is my theme, I have expressed the idea as many fishes when together a make a big fish. The unity in the fishes and the coordination between them show that as one all barriers can be broken. When animals in are in concert they are unbeatable and unstoppable. The numbers have greater strength, this vividly visible in protest, lions hunting, ants, bees, etc. This is visible in day to day life, humans work in groups as work is divided and it becomes easier to complete challenges. Humans prefer to work in groups as there is more strength, and people who they can rely on. Each fish by itself is made up of tiny beads. And wire is used to frame the fish, to give strength and vivid image.
The Photo has shadow which portrays the unity, and the profile look at the face expresses my idea accurately. The shadow makes the big fish more evident. The background is dull to show that in dull times, courage can help you get out of it.
