The blending of blue, green, and pale yellow colors in this image allows a sense of calm to fall over the viewer. At first glance, the viewer could be distressed as it seems the individual in the image is sinking under the surface; however, on closer inspection, the ease that can melt off the photograph due to the sensual nature of the image projects safety and beauty. It feels as if the viewer can reach in and grab them out of the water.

The dual aspect of the image is striking—the dominance of the blue, which promotes melancholy band ease. In contrast, the individual crunched together gives off the energy that something is amiss. The way the artist layers patterns and designs into the blue also gives the perspective of contrasting seasons that may be attached to the image. Overall, the wintery beauty that is an undertone within this whole is profoundly moving.

What allows this image to be captivating would be the bold colors of burnt yellow and purple. The two colors together allow the eyes to be glued onto the image and deeply examine the minor differences between each image. The image reminds viewers of pop art in a way that has multiple frames in one image, along with the candid expressions of the woman being photographed. The different zoom levels per image also allow viewers to see different perspectives of the woman and possibly what her thoughts could be in every shot based on her slight pout.

The blurred redness in this image allows viewers to feel a sensual energy. Red is the color that seems most sensual to society today, and the long limbs being displayed permit the feeling of eternalness and divine energy. In addition, upon closer observation, it seems the image has been captured on a bunk bed, allowing questions to fill the viewer's mind about the photograph's context.

The Analog Festival will not disappoint; any individual who appreciates the beauty of art should find their way to this experience, as the ability to interact with so many promising artists and exhibitions will be fleeting.
