In this animation you can see another change in my work. I added greater depth to the background by finding translucent images of trees and foliage without putting too much strain on my laptop creating fully rendered trees. It helped me make my image look more sophisticated and realistic as in the past I have just ignored the depth aspect without adding a background that you would see in everyday life.
I also added a mirror to piece, I did ask permission from a classmate if I could do this because I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. The reason I added this is because I was thinking about liminal spaces and how to create a larger environment and Michael Foucault came up in my mind and I remembered reading about how he talks about the use of a mirror as a heterotopia.
In Foucault' lecture "Of Other Spaces," he describes mirrors as both utopian and heterotopias because they are places without a place. A mirror reflects an image that is virtual, yet it exists and has a sort of reality, it allows you to see yourself where you are not. So I added a mirror to the environment, the sheet approaches the mirror and walks into it, then the mirror turns into a rough surface, like it has absorbed the sheet.
There is one frame that I completely love from this render, its where the can see the full detail of the sheet ghosts front in the reflection of the mirror. I think its the most realistic piece I have created to this date.
