 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 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 :)

 Here are my final ideations! 

 I made this image in class while working with Prof. Ed, and I have to say, the activity helped a lot! It left me feeling more confident for my final ideations. 

 Here are my first four ideations! 

 I believe I am going to be using Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction as my Icon! Here is the photo 

 This is my final product for the Fantasy Appliance!
