Final Project Completed


I liked the chandelier because of the spirals
I thought the circular form would correspond to the
idea of "overlay". Time is continuous, this chandelier
belonged to someone else, and has memories
tied to it, now I am able to create my own memories
with it.



This photograph is a symbol of rememberence, the theme of my piece is lost memories, I think art is way to reconnect and try to understand those lost memories. The sailor is actually one my great
uncles. The post cards were my great-grandmother's.




The photo frames were not part of the original idea, A friend gave them to me, and I thought it would be interesting to use, because photos capture a moment in time, but it doesn't always capture the meaning and memory behind the object being photographed. The frames are an attempt to capture memories, some of which I do not know because the objects weren't mine. Except for the dried roses.
