Each collage was very well put together with special care to fading and cohesion. In the first, third and fourth picture there is a prominent depiction of a girl who seems to be almost lost. In the first she is hiding her face from the viewer while a background individual creates themselves antlers out of sticks. Each portrays a slight feeling of uniqueness and separation. There may be no significance to the number 78, but it is quite prominent in the top left corner of the piece.
The girl in the fourth picture seems along the same idea as the first; her pose on the couch seems detached from the rest of the world though the girl in the bikini does not convey the same emotion. The quote on the slip of paper says “kept us free and firm on the world”. This paradoxical statement kind of fits with how I see the girl on the couch existing, connected while detached, so firm on the sofa but seemingly mentally aloof.
I particularly like the second attempt. The overlay of the bulldozer on the building with the girl watching has a metaphor in it. It’s almost as if there is destruction and existence inhabiting the same space while the girl watches from afar. It seems to fit together less than the three where the main subject is a girl, but more than the last collage that focuses on maps. I cannot seem to find a cohesive word that applies to all 5 pictures.
The third picture with the girls and the Christmas tree slipped in draws me farther from my detachment theory and closer to the word uniqueness. The girl with the poncho and the cigarette looks slightly uncomfortable and the girl looking down looks almost smug for some reason, so they are at odds as much as the girl with the stone in front of her face and her antlered companion. I will guess that the word is uniqueness.
