Collage 9 - Doorways


The various gardens that were visited utilized 2 very prominent designs for doorways and archways. The first being the more common rectangular form, and the second being that of the shape of a vase. Throughout the various gardens that were visited, these 2 shapes were most commonly used to lead people into larger areas such as the shrines and small enclosed buildings.
The collage utilizes these 2 main shapes in a way that it looks to draw the audience in using its frame within a frame. The lighting effect on the frames might confuse the viewer to think that it is just a cut out shape of the doorway, but is in fact an actual doorway itself. The sunlight and shadow effect created by the archways onto the floors also helps the collage to communicate its intended message.
