So for this project I went to research on crime scene investigations and I waned to mimic that high contrast + flash + angles in the photos. I also wanted to have like a really creepy feel throughout all the photos.
Evidence 1 : He is a Vegetable Murderer/ I am a Vegetarian
I started testing out printed fonts such as this and I was in a dilemma about using the space. Should I fill up the letters with vegetables and the space around it with the ‘blood’? or should I do the inverse. 
Experimenting with different formats
Colour change
Placing the printed letters and taking note of the kerning and size
The colour was too brown for me before, I mixed the watercolour in to give it that bloody pop
Smearing the first layer of background on
Put the first layer in the freezer for a day so that the colours die down and so I can layer another layer of fresh vegetables on top so it has depth.
Setting up the camera angle
before I added blood to the knives and the blood dripping
So after I got the perfect shot I increased the contrast through photoshop.
Evidence 2 :
He is narcissistic/ I am trying to look my best
Clingfilm and screwdriver to smash the mirror
glueing the shards in place
Applying the lipstick in the cracks
Evidence 3 :
He is Crazy/ I was a monk in my past life
For this one I wanted to create a creepy altar space. For this I used incense to create a caricature of me as a monk using my thumnprints with paper ash to mimic incense.
I don’t know why I can’t rotate this pic on oss but anyway I tried to do a caricature of me without hair
Burning paper to create the ‘incense’ ash smudging effect
Thumbprinting which was tiring and painful but loved the outcome
My ash past life portrait
Look at my mom’s face she was PISSED
the moment the photo was taken she went to wipe it all off
Final Evidence :
He is weird/ I am always standing out (Unique)
For this final photo I wanted to create a dead body scene with me covered in white. So for this I had to paint my body white and wore white clothes and I also wanted to blend into the background.
Inspired by this artist Liu Bolin who blends into the background
Using my mother to paint my body
Miscelleneous initial compositions :
First ideas ever of 1. I am a vegetarian 2. I am Sweet
Initial orbituary idea for I am Leon and I am dead inside. Scrappeed the idea because it didn’t fit in
The first murder of vegetables (experimentation)
Initial idea for Hi I am Leon and I am Sweet. (Idea of how I seem sweet but when you get close to me you might die
Pill Ideas for : I am Leon and I am trying to look my best
