Photo Series
My photo series of Providence is not unified. All of the pictures are all cropped to a square which connects them and the colors are cohesive. The idea behind was the a day out in Providence, started out at a donut place and then walking around the city. The inspiration behind the photo series is the picture from my portfolio of the mansion, the white, pink, and blue ceiling.

Interpretation
This is an abstract art piece. When I look at this piece I think of the possibilities of a future society being built. This piece causes a viewer response of hope and wonder of what the future holds. The mood of this work hopeful. This work tells a story of a new society being built. The artist's purpose of the piece it's the idea of a society that creates a creative and innovative space.
Judgement
I like the piece because I thought it was cool how it was built in to the wall. There are so many small details in the piece that you can look at it multiple times and see something new each time. I don't think it is an important piece in art history or that it should be even though it is an interesting piece that showcases the artist's talent. The piece fits in with modern time because this is a time where we are constantly learning and advancing. The title does make sense according to the piece because it is a piece that has a hidden meaning. It represents the future and the hopefulness that comes with not knowing whats in store.
Photo Series Inspired by ICA
For this photo assignment I took photos of construction sites. This series is inspired by Sarah Sze's work "Hidden Relief." I was inspired to take pictures of construction sites because of the elements of construction material that the piece included. To get these pictures I searched everywhere for construction materials or sites.
