Brief: And Then There Were Four…

The starting point for this week’s project was working with the number four, for example four subjects appearing in the same image or in four panels (a polyptych), one subject shown four different ways in the same image, four individual subjects that share a common link / association or four opposing subjects in the same picture plane, a subject that has four elements to it, a sequential image showing changes / events occurring in 4 steps or stages or a picture plane divided equally or unequally into four parts or sections.
