I chose the picture by Ben Gossens. I don't what the picture called, but I think is "Woman prays in the shell," maybe. I chose this picture to reframe because this is a picture that only contain one "subject" at the foreground compare to others. If this fram is part of a movie, people may want to see what is going on in that shell other than to see the houses. In this picture, the subject is literally in the middle of the frame, that drag more attention to the woman and the "room." In addition, the lines of window point to the woman, so that the first second I look at the frame is look at the woman. There are also lines in the sky direct the attention to the shell, .
I zoom in on the whole "room" instead of whole shell is because I want to see more detail inside other than background. The original frame has more lines and shapes that in someway distract the attention from the woman even though there are some pointing lines to her. In contrast, the original frame has both flat and deep space when the second one only have a deep space. The affinity of deep space is in the shell, and the black color shows that there's more space toward inside.
The artist chose to a long shot that includes the background is because he want to show the contrast between the normal world and the world in shell. All of the houses and and floor are straight lines and shapes are squares, triangles and rectangles. Compare to all the straight lines, when I got a close up on the room, there are pretty much all curvilinear lines and shapes are irregular. Consciously when we look at the first frame we will see the shell is so different and wired in the middle of the frame. Subconsciously we will think that they are in different world.
