Simplification Through Symbolism






 For this week, our project was to take quotes and turn them into symbols. The three quotes I chose are from songs that I listen to. The first quote is " Just a Rainbow in the Dark ". The first symbol is almost a homage to Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon Album cover. It is a black and white rainbow going through a black triangle. The second symbol shows a rainbow tucked into the white space of a crescent moon




 The second quote I had was " Master of Puppets, I'm Pulling Your Strings". For the symbol I took inspiration from the current events of Russia and Ukraine. The symbol is two hands that are pulling strings which are the latitude and longitude lines on the globe. The globe is showing the Soviet Union Russia





The last quote I had was " This Tragedy's Like Light to Flies ". I decided to juxtapose a fly, a lightbulb and two gravestones together to highlight the important words in the quote Tragedy, Light, and Flies
