The image that I am viewing right now is tragic. The seen is taking place at the sea – half frozen sea. The scene is created of sky on the top, ice in the middle part of the picture, then few streams of water in the middle and ice on the bottom. The color scheme used was mostly consisted blue shades except the sky owned some tones of pink and yellow. The picture itself was very smooth and calming. The atmosphere is clear, the air is cold, the sound is silent. And then in the bottom left corner, but not too in the corner – a bit closer to the middle, we see a bloody, dead whale the whale contains the blue shades too so he adds on to the picture. But the fact that he is dead doesn’t evoke anything. His horn (because this is a unicorn whale) cuts the image and leads the eye away to the other corner making you examine the sky even more.
The placement of the poor thing is so perfect and the streams are at the angle where the image becomes less of a scene but more of a scenery where you could just place this image on your wall. The calming attributes are not playing on feelings the image makes it seem ok to kill the ocean creatures. And the realization of that fact is striking to me, because we as the nation can make tragedy moment images into art, and accident occurrence into fun videos.
