          The picture I have taken shows a combination of the gallery's work, Cindy Sherman's ideology and modern photography. The use of snap chat as the filter helps create the illusion of the dog. It is meant to be fun, and whatever meaning you wish to create from it is your own choice. It is inspired by the gallery because it would be kind of fun to be someone else for a day.

         Cindy Sherman's work was a foundation for many photographers that came after her. She made people question who they were, because she was showing in her photographs the different identities she could become. It was fascinating to read how her photographs changed the playing field for at itself.

         The gallery was also very fascinating. I could see her works were inspired by Cindy's works. She was portraying herself in different paintings. None of her photographs or paintings really had a specific idea in mind, which is one of the reason I liked it. Cindy Sherman even says "The art world was ready for something new, something beyond painting", and she did deliver on that.
