Peer Critique

          I chose to critique Sara's photo weaving project. When you look at it you can see an eye perfectly clear, but when you look closer there is a second eye hidden in the photo. You can see two different colors within the eye but the way they come together make it look like it's one single picture. The eyelids and the eyelashes appear to match up. She used shape and color to make the two photos blend.
         In the photo, Sara used two similar pictures where the skin tone looks similar and the eye shape looks almost exact. One of the photos is clearly lighter than the other but because of how well the eyes piece together, it's hard to tell what the original photos looked like. The use of shape and color give the photo a mysterious, and beautiful appearence.
         To me, this picture makes me think about how things aren't always what they appear to be. Sometimes you need to look closer to see what's really there. I believe that's the message this picture sends. The fact that there is an eye in the picture is taking the title of the piece "seeing things differently" literally, but it also means you need to look deeper, to see what is really in the photo. I believe the whole idea of this work is very creative which is why is really stuck out to me.
