The central idea of my concentration is to show how I portray emotions differently than the common folk. By using images and nature I believe I am able to show people how I feel. Each piece starts off with a picture of me and then gets changed from its original state by either getting cut apart or having things added within the photograph. When the piece is done you are then able to see the emotion I am feeling finally emerge and hopefully are able to relate.
The work in my concentration demonstrates exploration by showing all of my ups and downs through my whole concentration. I worked on my concentration by doing how I felt that day and then creating a piece out of it. For example I had knee surgery during this process and used a picture of my actual knee cut and then proceeded to sew in bad stitches and a hand collage of actual pictures of the inside of my knee to show the pain I was feeling. This concentration shows my emotional roller coaster through all of senior year.
