The scream of Edvard Munch

During photographing in Normandy of France, I thought about a painting. It's Edvard Munch's masterpiece "The scream". According to his memo, it's described like this. "The painter was walking with his friend in the twilight of Oslo, Norway. He saw the scenery of the city in bloody red light. Then his mind filled with fear and screamed" Maybe I felt sympathy for the painter when I was walking in the wildness of Normandy. Hardly reaching to the ignition point as screaming, but I think all the people feel the fear with no meaning sometime.

Describing the fear that I felt in Normandy by the photos was main theme of my work "Sur Dieu". I wanted express my fear in the wilderness of Normandy and relate it to the God as universe. What I wanted to describe with this work was not God itself but the scream in my mind. However it's at almost end of the session knowing it's beyond my ability.

As I wrote before "The scream" of Munch got more profound description with his memo. I remember I had just weirdness or darkness to the painting in first impression. However once I read his memo, the meaning of the paintings became more easy to understand. At the meantime, was my work "Sur Dieu" able to describe my inner scream with my words? Unfortunately the people's reaction to the work was weak.

I know I was too immature for accomplish it. But I want to ask you about it once more. The fear and scarceness was still laid on shallow part of my mind. Therefore it's tough to me seeing "Sur Dieu". However I feel some sympathy to myself in the photos even now when I face to the work with courage.
