Compare and Contrast

The paintings Swan's Reflecting Elephants and Perception of Time were very similar. I thought that both of them represented death through the environment over a period of time. In Swan's Reflecting Elephants, the picture fades out to deeper and darker colors with less going on on the right side. There is also a woman looking the opposite way of "death" on the left side. In Perception of Time, there are multiple clocks that droop and hang off of different objects. To me, it's saying that the time has passed or time is running out. There is also a figure on the ground in the shape of a face...It seems to be crying with a small puddle of tears on the ground. There is definintely more going on in the first piece of artwork, but they have many similarities.
