125. Still Life with Accumulated Snapshots & Sun Portraits

This image is made up of both real and fictional props. In order to ground the narrative, I incorporated some of Gilda's real traits/ hobbies into the backstory; all of the trophies are Gilda's bridge trophies in real life. In addition, the small frame on the console table is an actual picture of Gilda when she was 3 years-old, taken in 1930.

The rest of the images and newspaper articles on the wall are images that I created for the sole purpose of being in the background of the scenes. The images of young Jack were aged and given specific color-washes that represent accurate color deterioration for photographs from the 1950's. The newspaper articles are fictional too; I altered dates, names, and pictures to ensure that most of the fictional props were created by myself.
