A closer look on my final piece painting in real life.
Description:
Component 2 Final Piece –
“Why?”
At first glance, it would look like two princesses in fancy dresses and jewellery, posing for a decent photograph. But at a closer look, this painting has a few deep meanings behind it, where the painting prioritizes three meanings symbolized by the gestures and stains of blood; the sad expression of their faces and their eyes, representing sadness and regret, their hands gripping tightly onto each other, representing hope and struggle, and the blood stains on Princess Anastasia of Russia’s dress and Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria’s corset, representing the history of their murders itself.
The title “Why?” summarizes the whole meaning of the painting, where the princesses, bound unknown to their fate, with a million questions on their minds only visible through their teary eyes and painfully sad expressions.
The strong grip of their hands together symbolizes their struggles as the princesses went through their depressing journeys of pressure and tears, leading to the blood stains on their corset and dress, showing the history of their murder, where Anastasia was executed with her family with her body parts dismembered, along with her family’s, showing the large amount of blood stains on her dress, while Empress Elisabeth was murdered with a direct stab to her heart by an Italian man who only had the reason of “doing the deed” or need to kill a royal family.
Another meaning, however is shown also from the grip of their hands; bond. They are both princesses, both ending in cruel fate and both showing regret as I had visualised them. Anastasia did not get to spend any more time with her sisters, mother or literally an older figure of a woman, while Empress Elisabeth never got to spend time with her children, whom some had lost their lives earlier than she had.
The feeling of regret brought tears to their eyes, for their fate, loss of time, and history led to a million questions starting with “why?” on their face expressions, supported by the strong grip of struggle, a bit of hope and bond. I have also concentrated on the details of this painting, including the jewellery, the crowns and the veil, showing themselves as indeed, the royal-blooded princesses from two different countries, sharing the same bond of fate.
The faint shades of golden yellow on their dresses also symbolises their shining figure as royalty, and I have chosen her coronation dress for Empress Elisabeth because all of her depressing journey to her end began right after the coronation and wedding day, and a court gown for Princess Anastasia, for which both symbolizes the purity and innocence of the two.
The dark black with faint golden background also represents engulfing darkness into their lives, even with only a little bit of happiness they had experienced, it had slowly faded along into the overall misty, uncomfortable dark aura that had surrounded and destroyed their lives.

My first attempt to Reclaim a Fujifilm FP-100C from my Polaroid 250.
The "scanning" was a lamp, a piece of white paper with the picture on top of it and my Nikon camera to shoot it ... quite a ghetto setup. Finished by a short processing.
I love this camera, I didn't think I'll ever shoot instant film. I somehow feel like this has to stay alive...
