The trolley man…who is he? Hedjuk says the trolley man was in a painting…who was watching him…who or what was he watching…? What influences the viewer of a painting? What does the painting represent? Instead of defining the trolley man as one particular character, with their own name, job, life, family, etc the trolley man represents all of humanity in their basic form. Are we really all individuals? Do each one of us differ so greatly from one another? We all suffer sadness, pain, anger, hopelessness, embarrassment…we all experience joy, happiness, ecstasy, pleasure… we are all a part of a whole…so should we unite together? (is this even feasible?) or should we live as though we are each separate beings, individual and special?
Between both models I wanted to dramatically differ the amount of light and shade coming into the house – much as a painting’s mood is influenced by the light and shade shown – humans react strongly, albeit unconsciously to light and shade.
