Shannon McKay's remixed images


Comments: (BEFORE) I was drawn to this image by the rich colors and skin textures. The colors go well with the visual and concept of relaxing, letting yourself go, enjoying a foot massage, and motivating viewers to have a similar experience. This is a positive, relaxing image that makes me want to go to a spa - which I've never done before.




Comments: (AFTER)I took the previous, original, positive image and turned it into an eerie, sad, and depressing image. The woman and foot she is massaging from the original image are relocated in a morgue. The body with the foot is extended by adding the second foot, which is lying on a white sheet, and there is a tag on his foot with the text blurred out (autopsy/identy tag; no text!). I have added a wedding ring to the woman's hand (3-d with glitter and it's hard to see in this image), suggesting that the foot belongs to her husband. The original image is transformed from a peaceful, soothing image to a depressing image implying the death of a loved one
