Quotes: “Please don’t be mad at me”
- The hand that is melting (the father’s hand) should be smudged slightly to give it a sense of blurriness, so it makes it feel like it’s not exactly there anymore he has succumbed to the darkness of abuse. The face inside the had is to show what he has done. This is to show how he will carry the burden of hitting women.
- The hand that is holding on has a very sharp outline to shows it is the only thing holding one even. Its shown in the kid’s arm that they believe in family and its a happy family. It says “I love my Parents” it shows he will love his parent no matter what. He is the one trying to keep them together.
- The hand that is melting is going to be split into two part the part before the hand grabs on is going to be plain and white which symbolises happiness, purity and marriage.
- The second part of the hand is going to show shes stuck and hiding bruises that she got from domestic violence. The hands on her face show that someone is trying to pull her under to stop her saying anything about the abuse.
- The melting pieces of the fingers are going to be black and are going to streak upwards into the white/Happiness. This is to show that the negativity and darkness are slowly consuming the father.
- I choose to have the word in red to stand out and the red is to signal abuse and to outline them in a box, this was to make it stand out more and be more obvious so that it can help people if it catches peoples eyes.
- The words inside the hand are melting along with the hand and trying to say that he is sorry for abusing his family, but he has no way of stopping it. The words are melting away. This is because he stands by the word of no abuse, however, he is asking his son to not be mad that he has fallen into the darkness. He also no longer feels sorry about it, as the melting indicates he no longer cares about anything.
