“Selfie”: Lofi Self-Portrait

Project Brief 1

Our first assignment in Media 1 is to create a self portrait. Not a selfie, but through mediated forms of communication about who I am. These are artefacts that represent my identity, coming from an artistic family background, embrace fashion designs and having the value of the touch to the nature. Whether it is the beach, grass areas or the adorable animals. To me, “Selfies” are…

Shoes are my fashion and nature accessorise me

Shoes are my type of fashion and nature accessorise me

Seeing myself through the lens

My Path

My path is invisible

Silhouettes are like footsteps left on our world

This recording conveys how I study. Silence disturb me and noises allow myself to feel like I’m home. With the sounds of my surroundings, I am able to learn and study better. Clearly, I’m more of a hyper-attentive learner and work well without silence.

As much commitment as I have for uni, I just cannot keep studying. Sometimes I need some friend-hours and chill. So as you’ve heard the saying, study hard, party harder.

Some videos (linked to Vimeo) that defines my part of my identity:

In these videos, I have shown the view from my apartment in Melbourne looking out to my University campus. Being an international student and having the opportunity to have an education abroad have made me so glad. This is symbolised by the framing of looking out the window for a view of the RMIT campus. The other video is about my interest in anything glowing in the dark. The sound of children in the background relates to my artistic and creative interests since childhood. Blue lights also symbolises my mood when in hard times, I am inspired to keep positive. Hence, the glow.
