The Cyclical Nature of Things: First Stab



I made two attempts at an image, but I am lost on where to go. I'm not very proud of these. My concept in one word is ROUTINE. My 40 images were all of things I often see and places I often go.

For the first image I used the breezeway of my apartment complex, and instead of the normal end, I added a photo I took of an eerie scene I saw one day while walking around stores in the mall. I wanted to create a sort of liminal space and make it feel unsettling.

For the second image I used a photo of my living room taken from the floor (I spend a lot of time there when I'm stressed). I included pictures of mine and my roommate's cats because they're a big part of my life. I also added a spiral pattern of my cat's glowing eye. I'm not sure why.

    I really enjoy the second image and I feel like it relates a lot more to your theme of a routine. I also really enjoy the cat's eye pattern and how it glows! Do you think there's any other images of objects that might hint at your own routine that you could include?

Visual Sequential Narrative — Initial Ideas

Image
I was struggling to come up with ideas with this project, but one of the first to come to mind was creating a few images demonstrating how anxiety feels to me. Here is an attempt at an image: I wanted to convey the feeling of always being stared at and judged by everyone around you. I need to make this image have a sense of time or motion but I'm not sure how. It's quite dark, and I wasn't sure how to change that and still keep an unsettling feeling... So I added a gradient to add more contrast between the figure and background.
