In this piece, Darrian Major is on the ground, bleeding water from her suicidal wounds. Her hair is also drenched in water. There is an emphasis on the cuts, its red draws attention to itself. I did these things in order to symbolize rebirth and renewal. In literature, water is used to symbolize rebirth and renewal. However, in this photo, there first is an end. This end is the decision to cut herself and end her own life. While her body has met its end, her being or soul is reborn, possibly being the afterlife.
I think this piece is 75% successful because of the use of symbolism of water and rebirth as well as the after life. However, I feel that my choice of background could have been better as well as the quality of the cuts.
