How does your project address the themes we have been discussing?

This project delves into the core themes of personal identity and societal norms by visually narrating the conflicts and challenges I've faced throughout my life. The composition encapsulates these themes through various elements and symbols that reflect my struggles and aspirations.

How does contemporary media play a role in identity, cultural, and societal norms?

Contemporary media significantly impacts our identity and shapes cultural and societal norms. It often perpetuates and reinforces standards of beauty, behavior, and relationships. This project recognizes that media plays a role in molding our perception of ourselves and others.

How do these influence our view of ourselves and each other?

The project acknowledges that media influences how we perceive ourselves and others by setting benchmarks for appearance, behavior, and relationships. It can lead to self-esteem issues and the perpetuation of stereotypes, impacting our self-image and our perceptions of those around us.

How are these themes addressed in the work of the artists we learned?

The work of artists like Hannah Höch and Frida Kahlo, whose techniques and themes I've drawn inspiration from, tackled similar themes. Höch challenged traditional notions of femininity and beauty through her collages, while Kahlo used self-portraits to explore her personal pain and identity within the context of societal norms and expectations.

What artist(s) inspired your project?

Artists like Hannah Höch and Frida Kahlo inspired this project, particularly their use of mixed media and personal narratives to convey complex emotions .

How did advertising and fashion images influence or get addressed in your piece?

The presence of the ring in my project addresses the influence of advertising and fashion images by symbolizing my fear of marriage. These industries often romanticize and promote certain ideals of love and relationships, which can impact personal decisions and fears.

How does your project speak to your identity and your relationship to media images?

My project serves as a visual representation of my personal journey and the ways in which contemporary media has affected my identity. It shows the complexities of my inner conflicts and the external pressures I've faced, ultimately reflecting my relationship with and response to media images that shape our lives.
