When I chose Rene Magritte's Son of Man, I spent most of the weekend trying to figure out how will I contemporize this painting. My first idea was to replace the apple with a phone with Facebook or Twitter on it but the professor didn't like the idea as much, calling it to easy and simple. On a Friday morning, I saw my mother doing her usual morning prayers and thought I could use christian imagery or objects.
The one thing that I would change is the background. The painted background makes the image look disconnected in a way. Perhaps if I found an area near me that had the same or close enough look as background in "The Son of Man" then it would have looked better.
Edit: I fixed and added some new things.
