Abstract

My project is a body of photographic work that consists of four sub-bodies. The greater theme is the idea of things unseen and unnoticed. Each of the four smaller bodies of work deals with a scenario of things that go unseen and unnoticed. Sub-body A' deals with the unawareness we have of what is in our environment. Sub-body B' involves our unawareness of others' lives. The microscopic components of objects in the biological world are the focus of sub-body C'. Detection of beauty amidst destruction is the subject of sub-body D'. In many ways I have incorporated other areas of my academic studies, besides that of photography, into the various sections of work. This was done either through the subject matter, or the thought and issues raised by the images. Each body of work has larger questions or implications other than just the photographic image of lines, shades, and shape.
