In the exhibition Vancouver Special: Ambivalent Pleasures, Tamara Henderson’s painting The Fog distinguishes itself from its series Mourning Clowns. Its holographic-like, vaguely formed figure differs from its companion paintings that who rigid black outlines and saturated, dark colors. This paper will provide a formal analysis and critical interpretation that highlight the complexity of The Fog. By incorporating Michel Foucault’s theory of the author-function, I will analyze how The Fog visually

Over the course of the book What the Moon Saw by Laura Resau, Clara transforms as a result of finding herself and her true calling, healing. Towards the beginning of the book, when Clara feels like a “fuzzy moon, just a faint light through the clouds” and questions if she is more than just a little plastic doll after seeing a little doll resembling her in a model of her neighborhood (3). After hearing Abuelita’s story she wonders if her soul is what differentiates her from the plastic doll and why

Page 213 Only darkness could protect me from that fear. Hence, I was going in the isolated path in dark to take a bath in the river. Krushashwa himself told me, “Please don't go to the river in the thick of the night. Taking a bath in the night-time is making you sick. Now onwards you will take a bath only after the sunrise. The doctor has told me that.” I protested, “No, I have this habit of taking a bath in the night for a long time. The doctor should not prevent that. How can take a bath in the

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” “There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. From 1875-1876 Thomas Moran created this painting. The image is a dark and rough sea with mountains to the side which are made with use of darker muted colors contrasted by a sun that is a mix of reds, yellows, and oranges, and indeed does illustrate the

The movie Shadow of a Doubt is an American thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1943, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing and Original Story by Thornton Wilder and Sally Benson. The movie notes the outstanding and remarkable film-making style of Hitchcock. It contains a lot of scenes in which people can empathise with the characters and perceive the feelings and messages from the director. One of the scenes that must be mentioned is when Emmy’s guests are toasting to

A learner needs sturdy foundations to grow wiser. Over time, he progresses from a basic understanding to a complex one. Like a puzzle, to see nature’s big picture one need to arrange its pieces. But, it is necessary to understand the mysteries of each piece before placing them together. I desire to understand the mysteries of nature. Physics grants an understanding of nature’s complexity and its beauty; and, thus, I chose it as my career. Now, I intend to gain the skill to better understand this

ABSTRACT: This type of display is a example of Retina display. Working principle of this type of display is Laser diode like coherent sources will help the VRD to give a diffracted limited spot on retina. Here photon source acts as the Intensity Modulator. It is actually done to match the intensity of the image produced. The next step after Intensity Modulation is Beam Scanning. It constantly keeps the image pixels on the retina. In scanning there are two modes. They are Rester and Vector mode. Both

Sight, for many people, is the one sense they feel would be the most difficult to live without. We rely on sight to read, find our way around, cook our meals, do our jobs, and consume our entertainment. For many animals, their sense of sight is of vital importance for their survival. For example, hawks and eagles rely on their incredible vision to spot prey from the sky. Large predatory cats, such as lions and jaguars, will use their improved night vision to hunt unsuspecting prey in the dark. The

I have always been interested in the way light travels, not just in how, but also in all the other factors that affect the light rays, including the speed, the velocity, the distance, as well as others. In my past years of school, I had been able to explore areas of physics concerning light rays, as part of my physics course. However, I had previously only learned the basic principles, such as the laws of refraction and reflection. Because I chose to focus on Chemistry and Biology, I was not given

Semiotics, Authorship and Viewers are all producers of meaning. These critical terms/parts of visual culture are important in understanding the signs of the particular cultural context. Semiotics is a critical part that provides important tools for understanding meaning of things. These mediums include images, film and television among others. These mediums can all be decoded in a variety of ways. Also, to understand meaning it is important to understand the signifier and the signified. Lastly, semiotics
