ME: This series shows that I am a mix of things that don’t usually go together (juxtaposition), where in the first and last picture there is a mix of Asian/Western influences and subtly expresses my individualistic desire to go against the grain of pop culture. The middle pic expresses my ambivert nature, where the vibrant festival behind represents the extrovert side and white canvas is the opposite introvert. The expression on my face is one of neutrality, suggesting that I’m at peace with myself.

OBJECT: What I want to convey here is this juxtaposition of how important the green tea is to me in the first picture, with how insignificant it is after drinking it.

MY WORLD: To me the esplanade embodies aspiration, and is a place where not only is it filled with hope but also where dreams come true. I wanted to capture the juxtaposition of that aforementioned quality with the plight of the workers toiling on a Saturday afternoon.

  1. Hey Andrew! I finally get to see your project cause I missed it on presentation day. I honestly really really like your concept and how you executed it- your manipulation of lines to show juxtaposition. Everything makes perfect sense- really cool!

    I really like your presentation particular the place you chose, which was Esplanade. I thought it was rather meaningful as an art student that you picked esplanade and how it inspired and motivate you to do better. Not only that it kind of pull you towards arts and makes you interested.

    The key highlight was of course the the foreign workers working under the sun. I can’t describe it but the workers seems create a stark contrast between the inside of the esplanade and the outside.
    Although I would think that the shots could be more interesting because and 2nd pic and 3rd pic seems kind similar. A closeup of their sweating face while they are hard at work might further evoke deeper emotional feelings towards the audience. Nevertheless, good job and keep it up!

  3. Sup Andrew! I really like your juxtaposition to show the different facets to your project! I also like your framing of the workers, but perhaps change it up once in awhile! Coolios work yo!
