ignore_loopgraf For this assignment, we had to find two pictures which have nothing in common. We had to ad the same verb to both the images, to give the image a message.

This was a difficult assignment for me.

I quit searching for pictures, when I did search for two hours and still had no inspiration.

A few days later, I thought about starting with the verbs. In a short time, I had two verbs in my head: “imagine and ignore”. Imagine about something horrible and something really nice. The first two things that came to mind were war and women. Unforeseen, these two were capable for both the verbs.

I created one first version and it was total rubbish. It was one big mess. Even for me it was not clear which flavour is more beloved.

After eating the whole bar of chocolate, I did get new inspiration…
