A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.


With Lady Gaga as the soul subject of this duplicate, I have adapted my previous efforts to involve colour, and incorporate my study of feathers by converging feathers into the subject’s hair. It could be said the composition is staged to present Gaga with a naturalistic tone to her image, ironic as she is a symbol of materialism manipulating her image with, surgery, make up and dramatic apparel, this is supported by 2009 release ‘Bad Romance’ featuring a sequin embellished jump suit. The contribution of peacock feathers and dark gradual tones to the image conjures a much less intimidating feel compared to the first approach (please refer to the post ‘love is like a brick’ for visual), this concludes that by fluctuating different aspects of the same image I have shaped a completely different message and therefore meaning.
