Today’s Sunday, 19th March 2017, and I finally made my second trip to AMK. The purpose of my trip was to find more interesting photos and angles I could take of the dragon playground and boy was I inspired.

For starters, I found a piece of cake someone had irresponsibly disposed beneath the playground:

This gave me inspiration for more narratives and dialogues about letting something/someone eat away at something that mattered. The destroying of something once perceived as beautiful or perfect.

I took out my macro lens and got to work. I haven’t decided yet however if these new photos will fit into my zine’s concept.

Which brings me to my next point:

CONCEPT

Based on my previous post, I decided to do a narrative on a relationship going sour which will be accompanied by images from the playground which will act as a motif or juxtaposed and symbolic scene where it all takes place.

After coming home with my new photos, I tried to begin writing my narrative but somehow it all sounded very forced. I did however come up with a title:

This is Where We Fell in Love

Here is a concept I came up with for my previous 3D assignment which was shelved completely due to a lack of resources. The text in this document came from authentic message exchanges and I decided to use these to form my narrative. This was way more personal and bore more meaning to me.

[CANCELLED] Installation Concept: The Beauty of a Broken Heart

I will continue to work on my layout and weave the copy into the images I have of the dragon playground. I have begun the process tonight and it truly is a very slow and reflective process that I find is mildly therapeutic.

Till the next update!
