triptych

Very long due.

basic sketch

nothing really too special planned right now, which may change. The basic idea is that of a narrative, of the life and death of a classic mythological figure, so a basic format would be conducive to this concept. This relates to my theme, because the goal is to contrast this permanent sort of archetype with temporal and contemporary images, something that I attempted to do with the triptych but didn't really succeed at. As well, a classic story of heroism and mortality also sort of embodies this theme as well.

theme ideas

for this zine project, my ideas about what opposites to portray are:
1. decadence vs. restraint
2. banality or disposability vs. permanence
3.  fragility vs. brutality (actually not opposites, and not really mutually exclusive, but I think they are sort of antagonistic, yes?)

out of them all, I liked the second one the best.
