Somewhere

For the somewhere project, I chose to place myself in a scene from the God Father. In my opinion its one of the coolest movies ever made. I also come from Italian roots so it means a lot to me culturally. I don't know a lot about my family history, but my mom tells me that my great grandfather had dated an Italian mafia princess. So when I watched the movie I thought that it was cool because it could've been how my life turned out if I was born at a different time. I also think the movie has amazing cinematography. Overall I think its a really good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and suspenseful movies.

  For this piece we were suppose to encompass something new we had discovered about ourselves over this pandemic. While I did discover some things, I wanted to take a different approach and display the more apathetic feeling I have been feeling since the beginning. As the pandemic worsened it seemed like the days just merged into one endless cycle of doing school and sleeping. I tried to display the road into the cycle and how it seems to be never-ending. However I do believe that things will get better eventually. Which is why I decided to use such vibrant colors and hues to show that even in the darkest situation light will shine through.  I placed myself on top of the moon to symbolize how I am just a bystander looking at all of this. I feel like I have no control over my own situation any more and I am just peacefully watching time pass me by.

Propaganda Self Portait

  My piece is a modern recreation of the famous Rossie the Riveter poster, made by J. Howard Miller. My idea with this piece was to use its original meaning, boasting female moral during World Wat II and depict it in a more modern way. I took away the meaning of boasting female workers and instead used it as a way to convey the modern day problems women face. With Rossie being such a symbolic figure in feminism I decided to recreate her with the problem of reproductive rights women face today. The slogan "my body, my choice" is meant to serve as a reminder to all government officials that human should have unsolicited control over their own bodies. Especially in todays climate with things like safe abortion and Planned Parenthood are being targeted, I think reproductive and general women's health rights are at risk.
