Idea Blog: Recent updates

I have continued to work with large images of things that inherently remind me of America, and a notion of the developed world here, using imagery such as malls, buildings, and large landscapes with buildings surrounding. I am in the picture as well, though i am represented as something missing, being disconnected and overwhelmed by the massiveness of the developed and uncommon imagery. Some photographs are numerous images put together, and add to the intensity that makes me as somewhat unnecessary and very small.

These following images are representative of what i have most recently done.

I plan to take these images with some sort of interaction with dirt, as being a symbol of something there that people have to look through and look past, with the dirt, without them realizing, actually holding worth and value within the composition. I plan to photograph on other imagery that i find that resonates with different aspects of life, such as Family, Student, Place, Wealth, etc. and have decided that using ten images that each represent one of these core values, as the imagery i show for my final.
I am still thinking about the usage of dirt, especially because my piece will not be experienced by other classmates, and only submitted as prints. I also need to think about the aspects of life that i have, and how they resonate with me, and have meaning within my life.
The whole plan is to have these images of values of human life, with me in the images, as expressing something that is missing from the values, and that missing emotion, feeling, or concept is representative of my past thoughts from Kenya.
