“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.”- CS Lewis
My overall aim in this personal project is to reflect particular objects that I consider to be a part of my history, as well as things that make me happy and representations of who I think I am as a person. The two videos show particular things that I find interesting in my bedroom, while my photographs range from things such as my favourite novel, an old diary of mine, a plant that was gifted by a family friend and a representation of my family’s national heritage. The latter in represented through a Turkish carpet and a cup of milky tea, representing my Turkish and Australian heritage. The tea cup is also older and more “military” in appearance, which I have used to represent the upcoming 100th anniversary of Australia’s landing in Gallipoli. The audio includes passages from some of my favourites authors, including Oscar Wilde and his novel, “the Picture of Dorian Gray.” My childhood favourite novel, “the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by CS Lewis, is also read and recorded for my second audio piece. The quote that I chosen is also by CS Lewis, and is a quote that I consider important to me- as I feel that it represents in my future goal of working in the field of journalism.
