Dandelion

Alexis S.
Virginia

The dandelion flower is a classic portrayal of being a military kid; the seeds relocate and grow wherever the wind takes them. Whenever the flower is represented it is in a traditional form, of the seeds flying in the air, so I decided to use some creative liberty and make the standard image a little more interesting. The positive and negative editing represents the ups and downs of growing up with military parents being controlled by the whims of a new job assignment and going wherever the wind blows.
