After creating a pinterest board with general ideas and inspirations for the earth stories project. I stumbled across an Albanian photographer named Adrian Limani. One particular collection of his artwork caught my attention, called "Life inside a Light bulb".

I like the brown tones in this image as it has a very natural, earthy feel. The shallow depth of field allows you to see the texture of the soil while still making the light bulb the main focal point. Several images have been manipulated together to create the appearance that the tree is within the light bulb. The light bulb connotes energy, when the light bulb is "burning" effectively you are burning the earths natural resources. The green item in the background of the image is ambiguous, it could be a leaf or it could be litter, who knows?

This image caught my attention, as I like the pop of pink and green against the brown backdrop, compared to the first image this photograph has a fresher more lively feel. The reflection on top of the light bulb is brighter and more prominent than the first image, you can see the sky and clouds the earth looks like its living and evolving around this one plant, The flower within the light bulb symbolizes new growth.
Looks like Limani had a bright idea!
