It's interesting that when I started this blog, I thought of it as a new thing, but now this is the third project from the past I have brought in. I think this is because of who I am now and what I want to do now relate back to then, part of the journey that has brought me here today.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then what would a journal be like with just the images? How could I express my daily, ordinary life let alone my hopes, fears, frustrations and joys. Sadly, I never completed the whole year - I went to about July/Aug time. A lot of the days were just documents of the ordinary, however, trying to describe emotional aspects became very intense. Trying to document that everyday, I often felt that I wasn't 'living' enough to have anything to 'write' about.However, issues about personal identity, self perception, what we think others are thinking about us, how the public persona and the internal angst co-exist. How many of us are still trying to make peace with ourselves - not just in physical appearance, but also mentally and emotionally, and how does that lack of peace affect daily lives and interactions?
