Transformation

What Programs or Tools did you use?

I used photoshop cs3 along with my mouse.

Where did you find the inspiration for your entry?

When ever i work on something i usually start by a thorough thought process as to what message i want convey. For this piece i was inspired by this qoute:

"So as long as there are men, there will be wars." - Albert Einstein

This piece doesn't show my transformation, it shows transformation of human race in general that how our very existence is the reason behind all the violence around us. Here 'Heart' is a metaphor for life, humanity and 'Grenade' represents violence. So as the qoute states, this transformation is an ongoing thing that has been happening for centuries in one way or the other at different places at different times. And it probably will keep on happening till the end of times. 

How long did it take to complete?

6 hours give or take, with mouse
