This piece reflects the creation of the Foshay Tower. It portrays the dream of the Foshay Tower in, theoretically, 'Wilbur Foshay's' eyes. Metaphorically comparing the image to the Foshay Tower itself, the tower draws you in(it is the center of the pupil) and is very bright and colorful compared to the black and white of the rest of the eye around it.
This piece represents Wilbur Foshay as well as the height of the tower. From my readings, Wilbur Foshay seemed very ambitious. This image reflects him 'reaching for the sky' with his dream of building the tower. It also reflects the height of the tower-it's so high you could 'touch the clouds'. I read that it is second tallest next to what was the Empire State Building.
This piece reflects the fashion-esqe sense of the Foshay. It's very 'hip' and contemporary. The height of the tower combined with it's contemporariness reminded me of a supermodel for some reason. The idea happened to pop into my head, and I started working on it. I found the perfect model to go along with the Foshay Tower image I had found.
