 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.

 Here are my Cyclical Nature photos! I know its a lot of seemingly random things, but for a lot of the images, I associate a strong feeling or mood. Many of the pictures I took were in a state of heightened emotion, as well as images I thought could relate to emotion through their composition or colors. I also included some drawings I've made while feeling a specific way, and I want to see if I can interweave them into the concept. I'm planning on adding more photos over spring break :)
