Thanks Umajoshi, I wanted the image to be one that gives hope to hiv positive people. They will be facing a lot of challenges with their health, so something that gives them hope is needed..The image is a double image, if you move a little away from the picture/ screen you can see the petals of the rose that is hidden in the image. All the best to you too.
Hi! Uma, Thanks once again..The whole background of the image is a rose seen in closeup from top. What looks like swatches of medium pink paint is the top of petals of the rose. It is more obvious in the thumbnail. The foreground is the couple on a beach. You may have to ignore the couple to see the rose. I deliberately left the rose hidden so that someone watching the picture for a long time suddenly sees that there is more to the picture :)
Hi! Maitymax, The brief says Your artwork does not need to address the HIV/AIDS problematic directly. In fact, we want you to focus on the ideas of standing together, solidarity, friendship and related values.Tonality open, friendly, informed,no stigma or fear fair, respectful, positive.. When someone becomes Hiv positive, the first reaction is fear, the fear of not being able to live a normal life, the fear of not being able to find love, or relationships, the fear of losing friends and family because of stigma attached to aids, especially in the third world countries..I made it a romantic family picture because why shouldn't someone who has aids not find love, or enjoy a relationship or enjoy a happy moment with someone they love... The image if seen in an .hiv website is meant to reassure them that those who are hiv positive can still life a happy life, to remove the stigma associated with being hiv positive.. .Besides the images are meant to be gifted to donors. If an artwork has to be hung in a house, it has to be something they can look at and enjoy and does not affect children..
Thanks Mariagroenlund Your images are artistically superior work and I am a fan :)
Thanks mutazalsidawi, Congrats! on your win in Restaurant transformer :)
Thanks Paolaoliva, I was imagining the image with a story where one of them is hiv positive and they meet after the person became hiv positive an still they chose to be together..

I think that your irregular background suggest a romantic atmosphere. That makes you imagine more than is there ; )
