My original idea was based on expressing myself through a collage in the shape of a tree, a crescent moon, or the shape of an image of me. It was a good way to begin, but the final project required more depth, thought, and expression. My project was inspired by Debord's "The Society of the Spectacle", Ana Mendieta, and Deborah Sperry.With the help of our professor, she helped guide me in the correct direction to create a 3-D model of my idea. Using a Styrofoam ball, newspaper, and paper mache I was able to make the shape of a moon, which will be covered in magazine cut outs that represent my persona. The moon has always meant a lot to me, because it symbolizes femininity through its cycles, peacefulness, immortality, eternity, and the dark side of nature. The moon itself is a great representation of me, but I felt that there should be more nature included. This inspired me to make the moon a base, created of a jar, spray paint, dirt and plastic flowers. The jar is painted red for the color of passion, energy, and adventure. Staying true to my roots, being down to earth, and embracing mother nature are represented with the dirt. Flowers are my favorite part of nature symbolizing life, purity, innocence, and being present at different times in life whether they are positive or negative reasons. Over all, my project is oriented towards my personality, beliefs, and values.
