The meaning of color in Argentina



The color black means death and sadness in my partner's country, but I only choose to show the sad meaning because of limited resourses and ideas. In the photo,my friend wears a black shirt and sitting on the step between two walls, bending her body.I'm trying to use the narrow space and the constrast of black and white colors to highlight her sadness. As small as she is, she should act happy and energic , however I use her loneliness to evoke a sad atmosphere. Viewing the photo, we can just catch a glimpse of a bent back, which can encourage us to imagine her expression. I think it must be a sad face. Do you agree with me?





My partner told me green means peace and hope and associate with the environment in her country, so I took two pictures to express those meanings. In the first photo,there's a tree under which a chair is located with so many plants around, I would like to sit on the chair with so many plants around, I would like to sit on the chair to enjoy the peace so that's how I express the meaning of peace.





A piece of paper on which there's a hole was put before my camera shot when I took the second photo. What we can see from the hole is the scenery in our eyes, so I was trying to show the environment in this way. Also the green plants can represent the hope when we feel confused. The light of hope isn't seem to be so clear when we struck into the trouble, however it can always guiding us there.




White means purty and I want to show the pure love between lovers so in my photo, the couple dresses in white and sits under white colud. Don't you think it looks harmony and pure in some way?





There're three photos here that involve the red color to show love. In two of them,there're two hands held together tightly both with a red bracelet on each wrist. We may guess the red bracelets are their keepsake which can stand for their love. I just want to underline the red bracelets, though it's just a small part of the photo. In another picture,a couple in red around their arms like a heart can also share us a love story.
