I experimented with how a figure's placement interacts within its environment. I started practicing with studies to experiment with the interaction between line weight in the background, as well as the contrast between positive and negative space. I began to further my experiment on larger surfaces and new materials. I revised how my background interacts with my foreground and strengthened my color palette. Near the end of my sustained investigation, I developed the element of isolation when it comes to feeling vulnerable and began using gouache to make colors more opaque. I added the color red most importantly, which represents sensuality and danger. I reduced elements in my composition to bring more attention to the figure itself and illustrate how vulnerability and isolation distracts one's self and how it distorts their perception of their surroundings.
