My approach to this assignment differed largely from the rest of the class which aimed to create a multi-layered narrative. Instead, I played with the assumption that time is frozen in this narrative to bring forth another perspective when looking at our own and other people’s lives.
Hence, through my use of image and text, I hope that viewers will first feel a sense of affinity with the sense of loneliness and detachment that most of my subjects exude. However, more than just that, I wish to offer my viewers a beautiful tension as these broken pieces are stitched together.
You will also realise that my drawings have 3 key composition:
Rounded composition:
All of my rounded compositions depict the same female character that is more cartoon-like in nature. Such an arrangement represented how we look at our own lives. It shows how we tend to magnify our struggles and feel as though though the world revolved our own lives.
Square composition:
However, I injected more of such squared compositions that reflect snippets of everyday happenings that we missed out. The subjects in these compositions often look lonely, contemplative or left out. A level of tension lies within these subjects, reflective of.
Long composition:
Lastly, I ended my narrative with 2 of such long compositions that aims to highlight another perspective. This brings the viewer one step further, granting them more vision to a particular scene. It gives them the agency to view single subjects together, providing these fragments a sense of togetherness.
As photographer Nguan wishes to “preoffer the possibility of beauty as a balm for everyday sorrow.”
I wish to let viewers know that maybe their struggles aren’t that formidable , because everybody has their own battles to fight and therein lies a sense of hope.
