I plan on recreating my persona in several different ways for this project by including emotional elements or feelings, along with a sense of my personality...which often involves overromanticizing things and also being a day dreamer/schemer. I want to avoid using objects to convey my sense of self because I have done projects before where I relied solely on objects that symbolized how I perceive myself, and although they are accurate representations of myself, I think that pushing the idea of ‘the self’ be delving into the complexities of the mind are an important step in an individual. I am really excited about this project because I hope to delve into a part of myself that I choose not to express, however it is a large part of me. My goal is to photograph a representation of my thoughts because who I am genuinely is reflected through my quiet thoughts.
I enjoy dreamlike qualities and surrealism, thus I want to discover a way to recreate my thoughts in that way. I want to reconstruct the feeling over allowing an object to define a feeling for me. Although I have always strived to challenge myself through my photographs, and put myself in situations of discomfort, I have not pushed myself in this way before and I do hope that I will learn to be braver as a photographer. This project will hopefully give me a good foundation to build on my ideas.
