This piece, inspired by the work of Cezanne, displays an aerial perspsective of the classic still life. The title "Bags" is intended to suggest the pieces meaning; the items displayed in the still life appear to be spilled out of a persons bag. I intend to make this concept into a series, adding in more still lifes of empties bags that depict different characters. One of my main intentions for this piece is to create a sense of curiosity for the viewer. I want to imply that these items are the contents of a persons bag and suggest what this person's character may be yet without giving away the actual appearance of the person. This concept applies into the common themes I explore in my work, and particularly, the idea that artists are able to take anything mundane or boring and turn it into something beautiful.
