Week 2 - Stephanie Bernardini - The OG Source

 

This past summer I went on a cruise to Alaska, and let me tell you… it was the most

BEAUTIFUL place I have ever visited thus far. I was totally obsessed with the gorgeous

mountainscapes around me, the calming blue seas, and the enormous glaciers. I

literally debated whether or not I would at one point in my life, want to live in Alaska. 

The sun is a rare thing in Alaska as they typically experience lots of rain and snow,

but for about a month in the summer, Alaska experiences sunny skies. This image, I

felt, was one of the most striking ones that I took while on this trip because of the way

the sun reflected off the peaceful waters of Alaska. It has a soft elegance, and whenever

I look at this image I am continuously obsessed with the Earth. 

This picture brought me back to the original source of light. The sun is humankind's

OG light source. The way the sun interacts with the many objects around us influences

how we represent them in the stage setting. The sun was a very powerful tool for

lighting as the ancient greeks utilized and manipulated its light for their performances.

The sun, our star, and bringer of the day is THE light source for our daily lives, and she

just amazes me.
