Experimentation, progress photos & results!
Experimentation
Judgemental Faces
I began by collecting cutouts of diverse faces from magazines, creating a fragmented collage to explore how these assembled expressions convey judgment.
Progress Photos
Connecting My Person
I started to integrate these magazine cutouts into a composition around a central animal figure, using mixed media to represent my personal feeling of being watched and judged.
Result
A leopard Never Changes its Spots
The finished piece, a mixed-media collage, is my final statement on identity and perception. It uses the title to symbolize that some aspects of ourselves or society are unchangeable
Navigating My
Identity
I experimented with compositional hierarchy by placing an "icon" of my face in the corner to represent the result of a specific hair ritual. I revised the work by adding a red "Target" border around a specific product; originally, the piece was just a collection of items, but I realized it needed a focal point to show the "navigation" of finding the right product. This shows practice in using graphic elements to communicate the internal search for identity amidst a sea of consumer goods.
7 minuties of
Memories
According to research, your brain waves doesn't stop after death until 7 minutes after. There is this trend saying that during that 7 minutes your brain replays all your core memories. So, I did a man who is visibly dying and films that represent his core memories pieced together. If you look into it, it is an actual mans life and his core memories from teens to old age.
Just
Planning
I wanted to dedicate my second piece to my hair loss
caused from school and just life stress in general. I wanted to create an image of in the shower making a zendoodle with my hair and creating like something related to school. The hair being the hair I lose through hair loss and me playing with it is just be accepting the fact that the stress is getting me.
