The journey of setting up my exhibit.
Documentation.

I thought I had everything figured out for my project. Every was already planned out and I had already started working on my final idea when I had to make up other proposals for homework.
I fell in love with a new idea where I would create a mirror out of rooms and paste the faces t head height. I changed all my plans but when it came to shop for the materials, things became expensive very quickly so I reverted to my original idea.
The Focus.

Faces.
Every face is unique and fascinating. While on the line, I took many pictures of people’s faces and I experienced the complexity of each one and decided to morph the faces into one being. Each individual’s face surprisingly complimented the ones it joined with.
Everyone is in harmony.
You could spend hours looking at the image of the faces.
This aspect is particularly engaging to my colleagues because all of the faces I used are my peer’s faces.
The audience can focus on my purpose without me explaining anything if they contemplate it enough with the aid of the title, “Looking Beyond Yourself.”
Everybody grows through life with a certain viewpoint they believe is normality. We need to learn to look beyond it.
My aspect of normalcy derives from my native american culture which is very different from other culture’s form of normalcy.
In this project I discovered that in order to fully appreciate the beauty of others, I needed to look past my views, which is what this project symbolizes.
Even though the amount of hours I put into creating this project is more than I care to admit, every aspect of my project is the bare necessity.
Simplicity is beauty.
I didn’t want anything to take away from the natural beauty and complexity of the people from the line’s faces.
Mission: Collecting on the Line

How do I express the diversity I may find along the line?
How do I put myself into this work?
What strikes me as diverse?
I chose to display my personal diverse attributes through a dreamcatcher. What better way to tie my culture into my project? The possiblilties with this are infinite.
Now how do I involve the line’s diversity into this project…
I chose to use the diverse aspects of nature to create my dreamcatcher. Along my journey I collected objects that struck me as diverse and I plan to transfer these objects into my dreamcatcher.
This all sounds great but the word diversity isn’t as involved as I want it to be.
The people that pass through on the line are the most diverse objects I could ever hope to find. Their individual lifestyle’s, cultures, facial expressions, stories, every aspect of a person is diverse. So I collected as many faces that came across the line as possible and I plan to merge the faces to create one. Because although our infinite differences make us so diverse, we are all so similar. Which in itself is diversity in a bubble.
The unity of differences.

The word diversity particularly stuck out to me immediately because I felt the possibilities for this word were endless. I grabbed the word right away prepared to maim those who got in my way.
Every aspect of the line is diverse in a multitude of ways. It’s just up to me to find what speaks to me.
I relate to the word myself because I’m part of a diverse culture and I felt that I could reflect that in my work by choosing this word.
There will be no boundries for this word.
