For my photo, I created a city out of staples and placed it in water to make it look like a floating skyline. I arranged the staples at different heights so the composition would feel balanced and look like real buildings. The hardest part was keeping the staples standing up because they kept tipping over and trying to float away in the water. I used only one main color to keep the photo monochromatic, and give it a moody, dramatic feeling. The reflections and water around the "buildings" helped make the scene feel more realistic. This piece shows how ordinary objects can be turned into something creative with careful setup and patience.
