“media”

digital PHOTOGRAPHY + illustration; 12/2020

THIS PIECE WAS A PART OF MY semester PROJECT, FOR MY high school PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS (ap 2d art and design, 2020 junior year, INSTRUCTED BY brian guilfoyle).

For this project, we were assigned to choose and develop an overall concept and create 15 concentrations. My concept was “Youth”

Artist statement:

Media represents the pressure young people have to consume everyone’s activity at any given moment. Everyone is watching one another, that sometimes you can become lost and blind in your own world, as I emphasized through the crossing out of eyes. When thinking of media, I tend to drift back to the app Instagram, hence why I used the border. When it came to experimentation, I decided to use angels that I have never used. This gave the piece a sense of uniqueness. I also wanted the eyes to seem harshly crossed out, so I redid the eyes until it looked as if someone had aggressively crossed out the eyes with a ballpoint pen.
