Text and Images

I don't know what it is about images placed next to text that creates polarization among people, but that's the experience I had in my second critique last night. Is it a good thing? I don't know. My experience with images next to text has been in a completely editorial way, where the text is supposed to guide the viewer through the images. Tell the viewer how to think about them. The pieces I showed in critique were meant to do the opposite of that. The text was meant to reveal and hide information about the island. I wanted to create a tension that makes whoever views them think about a possible meaning in it all. Perhaps I will begin to reorganize and re-edit the body of work in order to convey this more effectively. But for now, here are a couple images to meditate on.
