          For my piece I’d like to tell the story of how growing up is like a journey. I want to use an island castle to symbolize childhood, and a shipwreck to symbolize how a person, willing or not, cannot return to their childhood. The sea and boat would be a metaphor for the adolescent journey out of childhood, and the fact that it was a one-man boat shows how we all have to figure out who we’re going to be on our own. The ‘new’ land upon which the principle character is beached symbolizes adulthood, and the new journeys, dangers, and possibilities it presents. I might use a sequence, or I might put all this information into one image. It kinda depends on the project parameters and on what kind of images I find.
