My topic is identity, it evolved over the course of this assignment by focusing on objects that are related to our emotional identities. Originally I was interested in people’s expressions of emotions in a general sense, but have become more focused on the objects or environments that people apply with emotional value. I think my performative pieces were the most successful, especially the videos that gave more intense and personal moments. The photos I took on the other hand, were not as successful as they did not convey emotions as much as I wanted to.

One of the main contexts that my topic is apart of is public vs private spaces, with a focus on private spaces. I want to investigate the places and objects that make people feel comfortable and emotional. Another context is the lack of emotional expression people have among other people, and how the idea of solitude is one of the most comfortable.
