  here are my first two iterations! it focuses on reminiscing  on childhood, and the internal conflict of wanting to return to that state. I was originally planning to add in photos of myself from childhood, (which I may do for the next iteration) but I really enjoyed using the photos I had taken for this. I included fake roses to symbolize a false reality/idealization of past experiences, and the tchotchke filled pill bottles as the danger of regressing back to a child-like state that is unhealed. 

 Here are some more iterations that are closer to final, I may continue forward with experimenting :)

  this is what my most recent iteration looks like! 

  here is the beginning of my visual narrative. i am using photos from the team shoot i directed to tell a story about a friend group.

 

 Here is my first iteration for project 3, and I decided to make it a commentary on mental health. For people struggling with mental health disorders, the cycle can feel never-ending. It is a repetitive process that can carry you through cycles of hope and despair. It is easy to feel trapped in this cycle, and despite knowing  you have the support of your peers and medication, things often feel like they will never change. I chose to add imagery of the bathroom, with a loofah representing the beginning (cleanliness, fresh start), and the clumps of hair on the wall representing the end (apathy, disorder) here is the second iteration i've made for this project. I decided to to make it reflect the cycle of growth from decay. All of the textures are of dried plants, and the bug pattern was also made from a pressed bug. I decided for my "word" to be growth.
