"The Mirror"
My first "The Phantom of the Opera" illustration for my MA project
Didn't have the opportunity to say this during my thesis defense so will do this here. You will see it in the next illustrations but all of the frames are the same but a bit different at the same time. And the different detail is the angel on the top of the frame. So my idea was that the angel is some kind of symbolic personification of Erik (Angel of Music you know...yeah i made that too literally) anyway the idea was to depict his presence even when he is not on the illustration or the chapter. He is omnipresent like some kind of the Opera "deity"(i don't like this word in that context but i cannot recall anything else)/spirit (at least this how he perceived by the ballet rats and the workers of the theatre). Like even when the viewer/reader cannot see him, the Phantom in fact is here inside my mind, reacting to what's happening around the building in different ways like some kind of viewer/reader as well(you'll see it i promise+maybe i'll make a post with all of the angel's faces)
This writing is kinda messy and English is not muy first language so yeah i'm afraid to even think about the amount of mistakes i've made (i did that explanation much better in Ukrainian lol but i need to find the text so maybe the translation would be better idk) there but i hope you've got the idea because even though it's just a small detail it's kinda important (at least personally for me lol)
