Week 5: Gradient

I choose this photo to discuss the concept of gradient. Considering what we have learned in class, I was drawn in to the concept that my eye expected this phenomenon during a sunset. I was captured by the brilliant burning red and orange of the clouds, yet subconsciously I was comforted by the fact that there was cool blue filling the rest of the space. The top of this photo is nearly black, capturing the unveiling of space into our worldly night. For me, this concept of gradient offers a visual representation of the feeling of change, the feeling of transition, saying goodbye to one thing, and hello to another. I would like to play with the emotions invoked by different complementary colors using gradient.
