did this back when i was studying graphic design, for my photography class, but never got around scanning and formatting it until today.

i don't even remember the topic, i just decided to use david mack's character echo in the daredevil series for my work. as usual, the model is my sister. the weapons (i can't remember its name now O.o) were lent but right now i don't remember if i'm allowed to name the owner xP pictures taken with mamiya sekor, developed the traditional way. every modification has been made manually (which means no photoshop or digital manipulations other than the bad quality of the scans -hence the shadows- and some resizing)






"Part I. Me (Maya) (Echo)"


" -picture on top- Me.
-upper right corner- My name is Maya. My name is Echo. One is the name my parents gave me. MOM. Died. Gone. DAD. They killed him. BIG MAN. DAD. MAYA (me?).
-upper left corner- The other one appeared. I'm deaf. I can hear by the vibrations of sound. My name's ECHO, but I was MAYA before that..."


"Echo in my mirror"


"-up- Me (5 years old). Echo and myself.
The parts of me that belong to ECHO are always easy to find. But what I am, as MAYA, moves and changes..."


"-up left- To find myself I have to tell them apart
-bottom right- and get them closer to each other (when they look at each other they'll be able to meet).
-bottom pic- Echo in Maya."


"When MAYA and ECHO have been looking at each other for a while they get together and that's me (or something very close).
-pic- maya+echo. My father said I should stay joint to all my pieces."


"Part II. Changes"


"-top pic- My paws.
To finish them off I need to destroy my bitterness...
-right, in pic- 'Maya, if you're not careful you're going to hurt yourself'."


"-bottom- and rebuild it.
-in pic- PIECES."


"Turn it into something else".


"-up left- Only then can I realize. I'm not Maya. NOT MAYA.
-bottom right- but I'm not Echo. MAYA"


"Evolution means being able to come back and forth from Echo to Maya.
From Maya to Echo."


"Now I know it, just on time. For the first time in years I can say I'M READY (if I'm ever to be)".


"Now I have wings."


"-up left- Maybe they'll fail. Maybe I'll believe myself Icarus and, after leaving wisedom behind in her way to Echo, Maya will discover that her wax wings CAN'T KEEP HER UP.
-bottom right- OR MAYBE I'LL NEVER TAKE OFF."


"-in pic- My wings.
Anyway, I have to try."


"Echo flies"

OK, THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK SCANNING AND PUTTING TOGETHER FOR A PROJECT THAT TOOK 5 MINUTES TO WRITE, JESUS CHRIST. i was going to explain why it's so weird but i'm too tired, maybe other day. word of advice: go and get anything by david mack you can put your hands on because he's made of awesome in every possible way.
