Klara and the Sun is an incredible sci-fi novel written by Kazuo Ishiguro. The story follows a robot named Klara who worships the sun and tries her best to take care of the sick girl she was tasked with protecting. When I was tasked with creating a self portrait with a narrative, I knew I had to make a piece based off this incredible work of fiction! I really wanted to focus on her ultimate reverence to the sun, and make her robot self take a back seat to this incredible bond she forms with the sun itself. I hope you enjoy! :)
The final thumbnail I decided worked the best compositionally.
A value study.
