Tupac Picture

            The picture of Tupac Shakur demonstrates the inspiration to achieve greatness. The rapper once said in one of his songs to “keep your head up”, but in the picture shown, his eyes lay deep down staring straight at the ground. Because Tupac’s eyes are still open, this allows the audience to feel a sense of hope and motivation. Shakur is able to take all emotion and thought into his mind, and process it into poetic words that allowed him to become a great artist. He stares into space, thinking about the fear of failure, but at the same time the development of one's pride.

The deep meaning into this picture is that it takes patience in becoming successful, but no matter how successful, one cannot forget the things he or she once went through growing up. The coloring in the picture contribute to the life cycle, on the left side, there is Shakur’s shadow seen to allude to past obstacles faced in life. On the right side a brighter shade is shown to demonstrate a higher belief of optimism.  As far as credibility goes we read from left to right so the shadow being on the left side allows the audience to have an emotional feel before looking at the bigger picture: inspiration to succeed.

                In conclusion, the picture allows the audience to feel more independent because one can feel comfortable portraying his or her own style. Shakur has a necklace, a bandana and a nose ring to demonstrate individuality and distinctiveness allowing one to have a drive to succeed in his or her own comfort zone.  The picture of Tupac gives off the vibe that life is a everyday struggle and we as humans will make mistakes. More importantly, one must learn from his or her mistakes and grasp that given opportunity to change for the better good.
