IMG_5275_edited.jpg

This object represents a very special memory that I have which was the day of Batuta de Plata last year. That day the people who wanted to go to church to pray could go. As I went there they gave us they prayer so that we could have it. 

FINDING THE OBJECT

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

HOBBIES 

FAMILY

The abstract concept I choose for this category was nostalgia because the objects that remind us of our childhoods, which we often relate with happiness generate a feeling of sadness and nostalgias, because you want to be there again.

The abstract concept I choose for this category was numbness in the sense of forgetting every problem you have while you are doing what you love.

The abstract concept I choose for this category was unity because that is what you feel when you are with family, and with people you love. 

THE OBJECT

This was the object I choose because it represents the best memories I have of my life which were during my childhood. I used to play with my parents and I would always have this teddy bear at my side. I used to even sleep with it, just after my mother finished reading a story for me. This creates a feeling of nostalgia because it brings me back to a time that was simple and in which everything seemed to be good all the time because I didn't know a lot of things about the world which have impacted me and probably a lot of people while growing up. The Teddy Bear represents that feeling of wanting to be thee again when everything was alright, and when the only thing the mattered and that you had to do were the things you loved. 

I got this teddy bear when I was 4 years old in a birthday party that my parents planned for me in a place called "Osolandia". That day one of the presents given to me was the teddy bear and from that day I would spend all the time at home and even during the nights with the Teddy Bear which was called Lucas. I used to sleep with the Teddy Bear and when I felt alone or when I was scared of something during the nights I would hug it until I had fallen sleep. This way the Teddy Bear affected my life as it was alway laying on my bed during the day when I was with my parents my sister and my aunt playing and not worrying about much, but most importantly I also had it during the nights when I was usually afraid or felt alone.

I REMEMBER

BLACKOUT POEM

COLLECTIVE ARCHIVE 

The theme choosen to do this archive was the school shootings in the U.S. These school shootings have been happening for several years and the U.S government has yet to propose and use a definitive solution for this problem. What I wanted to show with the edit was darkness because the lives of these children have been lost, and with them all the happiness and joy they brought to the world. I also added a blur to show how they are starting to disappear es they have died.II decided to use portraits of the kids because there you can see clearly their faces and smiles so that you can understand the real tragedy that happens.

BODY

Did you feel confortable or not?

I uncomfortable because I was in a position which required me to use my hand and feet to not fall backwards, while having the bin over my head. It was hard to be totally still.

 

Why you think that comfort or discomfort happened?

I think discomfort happened because of the position I was in and because I was not able to move so after some seconds it became very uncomfortable.

Can these sculptures be considered art?

Yes or not and why?

I think they can be considered as art because as long as they are interesting and they try to show something more that just the objet I think it can be considered art.
