This series presents a persons dream for their future. Each stage in the process of actualizing this dream is split into an abstraction of the persons thoughts, coupled with a vision from the perspective of the minds eye. The first two photos show the possible goals a person might strive for, the second displays the choice of a particular dream and the effort required to reach it. The final photo represents the achievement of that dream.
Evaluation:
The first two photos are heavily dominated by the diagonal road heading to the right and over the rise, this road, and it counter part in the abstract, represent the easy and most frequently choose option. Similar to the process of solving a puzzle the mind often jumps back to the obvious, but incorrect, method of solving it.
The second set of photos shows a choice that may not have been easily seen in the first photo, its on the left, a choice that is harder and less curtain, as shown by the fact that its stairs, rather than a nice road, and by the obstacles the trees and their shadows represent. The sense of progress and purpose it emphasized in the layering of the abstract view, both in terms of color but in intensity; The lower band shows where the viewers thoughts were to begin with, thoughts that a now fading, the middle band shows thoughts that have become clearer with progress. Lastly the top band shows the destination, how his thoughts will be when it all makes sense.
The final pair of photos show the embodiment of the goal, within reach and clear of obstacles. Both the imagined and the abstract share a similar shape, linking his thoughts more strongly with this goal. The lower area of the imagined photo is smooth, to show that nothing is blocking the viewer from the goal, but the back ground is still busy and full of more twists and turns. This hints that even in success we should not stay still an settle for what we have achieved. The abstract also hints at potential by the repetition of the tree symbolization, because the viewer, having now achieved the goal, is able to leverage it for far more value that it could be on its own.
