For my final piece I wanted to create something physical, I thought about using photo frames and making a series of images but I then thought that I wanted to do something a little more creative, something 'outside the box'.
My project explores self identity so I knew that I wanted to create something interactive that is meaningful and personal. I decided to use a vintage-style jewellery hook box, I decided to include mirrors all over it to make it appear bigger and to add to the idea of self exploration and how our appearances can be manipulated in different ways. So I printed and cut out some photos from each shoot of my project and then combined photos, mirrors and hand written messages around the box. On the inside I wanted to use the hooks for something, so to make my final piece more interactive I wrote what my project represented on little pieces of card, I used string to attach them to the hooks and this created the overall appearance that I envisioned. I also wrote questions to stimulate thought which is another thing that I wanted to do with this project. Overall I am happy with how my final piece came out and I think that it reflects how project well. |
