the process of choosing the snacks brings me back to my childhood days where things were so much more laidback and easy.. (reference websites 00A 00B)

documenting the composition, then came consultation where the feedback was to inculcate my name as part of the composition itself. the alphabet biscuit just was not enough. so i decided to photoshop the main colours of the snacks and illustrate them and at the same time, removing the snack name just because the nostalgia still lurks at the back of our heads. and thus the process of overlapping began. stacking the layers of paper on top one another to create a fun pop up look.

002 i am a photographer for pre engagement shots

to show i’m behind the camera and the idea of being behind the screen to review the photos. name is formed using the couple’s poses, without the distraction of the background

a layer of tracing paper with the name outline to make it more apparent was also added

003 i am a risk taking explorer

exploring singapore/local explorer were some other similar attributes i had initially thought of but it’s only apt to add the work risk taking in front of ‘explorer’ due to the fact that local housing (HDBs) are people (or neighbourhood)’s territory, it does not belong to people who are not related or does not stay there. i have had an interest of photographing HDBs since a while back and to go to these type of places, it comes with many unwanted attention or suspicion from the people coming from the block. to place my name along the corridor itself makes me a little worried. for this project, the shadows of the text had been left behind while the real name had been removed. the block is showcased in layers too.

004 i am a sentimental memory holder

inspired by neat filings, case files and school files where we had to organise our worksheets according to a certain subject, this last idea derived from working files and how random memories are held close to us. the things we have done in our lives and the tickets we keep, the things we write down in our schedule book once upon a time and the people who makes us happy. this was about that

overall it was a fun and exciting project that requires us to go deep beyond the things that we like and enjoy. it was a project for us to observe more and be creative.

hello, it’s me

keyboard command – alt tab means to ‘switch between open programs’ and that does not necessarily mean having a short attention span but excited to continue/do other activities while doing the current one, multitasking/juggling several projects at one time

have you heard the saying “we carry a baggage everywhere we go”, meaning emotional baggage. what’s in yours? i see mine as a dark environment/vibes and having a bag/suitcase of positivity with me, having colourful glitter.

munn

and here’s what i came up with

i believe i am a visual person and i’ve listed down objects and visions, accompanied with some characteristics of myself (brought forward from f2d sem 1’s assignment called Ego) on the mindmap above

001 typography:

basically making use of fonts, language, kerning and angles

IMG_1149

IMG_1152

an eg. using an open bracket (

to represent myself

( is an icon for a moon, which has a similar pronunciation as my name and the meaning behind an open bracket tells us its endless possibilities.

002 abstract:

not representing external reality, non-representational, non-realistic

IMG_1150

IMG_1151

an eg. using coloured confetti as a representation of celebration. as a freelance photographer, i enjoy bringing party poppers/confetti to shoots for photos.

003 conceptual: 

relating to or based on mental concepts

IMG_1154

IMG_1153

using objects, neatly arranged and taken/draw from plan view to represent things that interest me/i enjoy doing/is close to home (eg. the last one is of shoes, camera, a globe, keys, notebook and a pen)
