Mayella has a lot of outside factors influencing her to the point where she actually lies about being raped. Abuse from her father, loneliness, the need to be wanted, the need for some attention--any attention. This collage is Mayella. It is how she came to find herself in the situation that she did. Lies. Fear. These lead to her day in the courtroom, to being in over her head. I hope that the sadness of her situation comes across in this collage. The black and white is meant to represent her culture and society--that racism is so strong that she can say what she does and get away with it. And the reason why the attention poster isn't in black and white is because it shows how desperate she needs to have someone notice her, notice that she is someone. Tragic.
