Blue Candlebox

This is the second of four drawings in a series I did with students of monochromatic symbolsim relating to levels of truth and perception. This is the blue one and being the color to symbolize perception of truth it is based on a photograph. It depicts something we cannot actually see long enough to accurately capture with the naked eye - the flickering lighting of a candle- and so we must rely on the how the camera sees the world, which of course is fundamentally different from our own perception.
