I decided for this that less is more and only used three of the ten images provided. The woman in white is obviously an old/antique photograph, so I decided to erase her eyes. In other cultures through out history, it is known that when somebody has passed away you put something special (gold, coins, etc) on their eyes for them to bring into the afterlife. When this photo was taken, the woman in white was alive, but not anymore. I decided to put the butterflies in her eyes to symbolize something beautiful, but also something that is full of life as she was when this was taken. I was also very inspired by the hand and the fact that it already looked as though it was ripping through the paper. The hand is ripping through the photograph, and the image is caught right before he wraps his hand around her and takes her away.
