My aim for this project brief was to capture my environment, which I believe reflects the newness and change in my life now. The underlying theme throughout each piece of media is the concept of ‘home’. This influenced my self-portrait because the places I’ve been lucky enough to call home have shaped who I am and how I see the world.
– This Was 18: people, charms and moments that bring back memories of who I am when I’m happiest
– Home Away From Home: when people ask where home is, I tell them what they want to hear
– Tourist In My Hometown: I’m from Melbourne but the city is still novel to me
– My New Life: college is my newfound independence
– City Trams: I am immersing myself in the city of Melbourne to get in touch with my Australian-ness.
– Move On: I love to write and I sing all the time; these are my outlets.
– Walking home: my new routine and a new sense of normality in my life
– Skype calls: the only way I see my family for months at a time. Staying close with my family is hugely significant to me.
