This week’s task consisted of using everyday objects to conduct and create new images, giving them different meanings as well as new views. For this task, we had to take an object that didn’t belong to us, whether it was borrowed from someone we knew, or just found in the street and create something new with it. We were originally tasked with only doing one, I, however, did three. Once I had taken my three images, I had to pick one to upload to my blog. Here is the image that I chose:
In this image, there are two objects that are not mine. Both the jar and the fairy lights do not belong to me, I borrowed both of these off roommates. The background consists of a bright pink, piece of A2 paper. The reason I thought the jar would be a good idea, was that it could be used in many different ways. I could have filled it with practically anything. I chose fairy lights as while I was deciding what to put in the jar, the lights all cramped up like that looked slightly similar to a night sky in a jar. I decided to hide the battery pack just so it looked more organized and controlled. I tried using multiple backgrounds while taking this image, this including a black background. However it was hard to distinguish the jar, so instead, I used something a lot brighter.
