Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Conceptual

Diary
Recorded memories from the depths within...

Jeff Huang for depthCORE XXVI - Remix and Repent

My remix painting + photomanipulation of a photograph by Chris, aka *septic
Original piece here:

Remix__

Chris' photo was an amazing partner for my concept. I wanted to keep a surreal atmosphere and feeling (influenced by Rene Magritte), and his photo was perfect from the start.

Please take a second to read the concept to fully understand the purpose of the image.

The road in this image symbolizes the "path" which we all head down in our lives, I guess you can call it our life-line. Along these paths, there is constantly events and unforgettable memories which strike us, in this image, the hanging mirriors symbolize just that; Waypoints which our mind which allow us to reflect and reminiscent back, to all those unforgettable and significant events in our lives which we experienced down this "road".

This piece is very personal, therefore I took it to another level of symbolism in terms of these mirrors. The middle one, which is in focus, has a date on the mirror. "110503" is what it says. That is the date in which my ex-girlfriend and I started dating, november 5th, 2003. That is my waypoint, the point where I enter this mirror and reminiscent every single detail that my mind allows me, for the 2 years after that date would end up to be the most happy and fulfilled time span of my entire life.

When these 2 years ended(shown by the cracks in the mirror), not only did I lose the joy and happiness, but I also forever lost a part of me, theres a huge hole in my heart. It's 2 months away from 1 year since we've broke up...and yet I still think of her...I have asked myself numerous times why I still do. But I guess I can only say that I still love her...and I'm very thankful that she had given me the chance to be with her. She's got a new boyfriend now, and I pray that it is someone who can give her the happiness that I couldn't, because I'd hate to see this girl get hurt...

The times that we shared, whether joyful or sad, would forever be carved into my personal "Diary".

Sorry for being emo guys, I just got carried away, this is a very sensitive subject so I guess I just had to let things out of my chest. Thanks if you have actually taken the time to read this, and I hope you like this piece.
