PROJECT 5 PROCESS I wanted to combine project 4 and 5 into the same project. After completing project 4 (the handmade book), I wanted to push the boundaries of what a book really is. At it's core, a book is a 2 dimensional (the pages and words) and 3 dimensional (the book's form itself) way of storytelling.  What if I stripped away the 3 dimensional aspect of the book and told a story through only an image. But don't all images tell stories? Yes and no. Some images are just pretty to look at, but I wanted to tell a narrative through 1 image alone.  In Project 4 I wanted to also convey the meaning of the passage of time. In Project 5 my goal is to freeze a specific moment in my character's life and tell the story of what's going on in their life through a series miniature photographs showcased in the window of the motel. The motel windows signify how we're only getting a glimpse of the moment (not the full picture, both literally and metaphorically)
