INSPIRATION
08/04
After looking at Kusama’s work and getting a taste for her use of repetition and infiniteness to present obsession, I thought about a video that designer Cassette Playa made called K_A_R_M_A_G_E_D_D_O_N and the film Requiem For A Dream, both of which personify the sick repetition and...
PREPARATION
08/04
I drew a rough storyboard and wrote out a rough outline of my ideas that I sent to Alégria so that she could get an idea of what the film would be and how she would act. I designed the labels on Photoshop for the bottles, and "crushed" the three songs together on GarageBand, symbolizing...

-REMNANTS OF SWAG-
17/10
This was originally an A-Level project, but I fed a lot more passion to it.
A lot of people misconstrued the meaning of the word "swag". I got together some people I thought maintained the original meaning of that word so that they could share their thoughts on what "Swag" means...
