Project Proposal:

For this sound portrait, I wanted to portray and bring awareness to mental health by studying a person who struggled with on. After some time looking around, I found Diane Arbus, an amazing photographer who suffered from depression to the point where she took her own life. Like one of my previous pieces, I want this piece to be a fully immersive experience. For the sound portrait itself, I want the listener to be overwhelmed. I plan to start with softer, quieter sounds, and slowly build it up to a cacophony before it abruptly ends. The installation will be made using black and white photographs I take myself that are printed very big. I want the photos to be of the darker part of NYC, adding to the effects of the recording.

I would post a sketch of my project idea, but I am basically just posting giant photographs on the wall.
