In this piece Christoffer Relander uses a piece of bark and edits it over his eyes, forehead and hair. The grass on top of the bark acts as his hair. This piece makes me feel a mix of emotions, the lighting making me sad, the expressions on his face make me scared, and the way it's put together in general really interests me and makes me happy. This piece is a close up and blurs out his shoulders slightly so it focuses on his face and the bark. I like this piece a lot because it is very artistic and kind of gives a feeling of hidden meaning to it. He has made this by using layers, using black and white, and the portrait taken seems to be taken in a studio with lighting shining behind him. I really like the fact that the bark is covering his eyes and upper face so that all of the expression is coming from the bark, the grass, his mouth and lower face. It kind of makes me think that the story of it is that nature is life, and we are a part of nature. I really want to create a piece inspired by this, I could take the idea of covering my upper face with and object or something and keeping my lower face clear.
