Description

Alright here it is. A remix (a substancial remix) of my piece of indy art of the same name. Thanks to Digi for earlier feedback, but I couldn't fix it :( (Sad)

Basic Concept
Anyway my concept is about the change in the world throughout time, and the piece looked at from left to right is meant to represent the progression into the more industrial / technological ways of the modern world, from the more natural neccesities of the past.

The representations
The right hand portion of the piece, with the metal work, and electric lookin elements represents, now and the future, where people have a heavy dependance on technology. The extreme right is the fade to black, where the distant future is very much unknown to people.

The left hand 1/3 of the piece represents vaguely the past. It is a distorted version of the present time, because the way the world is at any time will be a product of what went before it. The left section of the image is a reflection of the rest of the piece. It symbolises the connection between different periods of time. The distortion represents the weaknening of the relationship.

The vine/hook in the bottom left comes from the past and reaches into the future. It also represents the ties that different eras in time have to each other, as the vine crosses both areas of work.

Colour Scheme Representations
As the title suggests, the future section of the past is largely one colour scheme. Is is about the more strictly regulated system that we are evolving to. Personalities are selected with option buttons instead of text boxes (if that dodgy alalagy makes any sense). The past section has slightly more vibrant colours because people always seem to add a 'fondness factor' to hindsight.

The green vine is to symbolise the natural dependancies of the past that have less and less importance today, and in the future. It is still almost metalic looking, which I guess is a bit of a juxtoposition between nature and industry on the same element.

Sorry for my bad spelling, and the excessive word count, but I wanted to explain all the symbolism.
