Hmm…

The Collection

It was hard to think of something that makes you think. I guess that I just never pay attention to anything around me, and it is sad and depressing. I never feel the need to wrote something important down. Every time I remembered about this exercise I was back home doing my homework, and recurring in my head the events which happened throughout the whole day I could not think of anything that makes me think “hmm…”. I was stock, and then I finally realized that those things should not be something special. On the opposite, they can be my routine.

Money is a part of our life they are always with us. Those pieces of paper of metal manipulate our lives. We can not live without them, and everyone thinks about them at least ones a day – I know I do.

I change my nail polish every week if not even more often, and every time it is a struggle for me to choose a color. It depends on my mood and occasions, and every time I stop and think – “Hmm, which one should I choose?”

I never think o f how many sweets have I just ate while I am eating them. The realization hits me only when I see wraps.

The lipstick is my main protection from the outside world. It draws attention to itself and distracting people from my appearance and mood, so it is important to choose the right color, and that takes a lot of thoughts.

The fascinating thing about pencil shavings is that we never use them again. They are just going to the bin. I shaved my makeup pencils a couple of days ago, and then suddenly forgot to put then in the bin. I saw them when I came back, and they made me think of my project.

This photo was hanging on my wall for a while. It is from a photoshoot that I arranged a couple of years ago. This photo brings lots of memories back.

The box from the Merci chocolate was in my room for a week. I love chocolate, but I can’t eat it, so every time I walked pass by this bow. I was thinking of eating the sweet treatment but forcing myself not to.

We use them every day without even thinking of them. I am struggling when I am running out of paper towels, but when I have them, I don’t care. It is such a routine that we just don’t pay attention.

The beads are one of my main passion. It is incredible how much cool stuff you can create using them. Every time I see a box of beads I start imagining what I can do with them.

This is my dreamcatcher. I hang it right behind my bed. When I wake up in the morning and see it, I am thinking of what it possibly could have caught.


The Container 

As a container I decided to make dreamcatcher which caught all my artefacts on its net. The artefacts represent everyday routine which even followed me into my dreams.

I didn’t include the actual artefacts in the container. I used small representations of some of them – I kissed a paper towel, and sticked it to the net (it stands for lipstick and paper towels), I also spilled some nail polish on top of the glue left after glue gun and I sticked a coin to the net as a representation of money.
