‘Fish’

In preparation for my experiment of a dead fish in an air-tight bag, I laid out the fish on a white surface, intending to capture how it looked before it was encased in plastic. However, when I tried to vacuum air out of the bag, the bag burst and my experiment failed. However I became quite intrigued with the photos I had taken and decided to study them.

 

Removing excess surrounding space removes the metaphorical ‘bubble’ of space that surrounds a living thing or something that used to be living

 

       

Posthumous portraits brings it to life in a different way than it actually being revived.

Though the experiment failed, it still made me think about how if something is put into an air-tight bag, removing the excess metaphorical (anti-matter) space that exist on the visual spectrum, it would be like turning the 3D into a 2D portrait.
