Using abstract opaque shapes, I recreated the subtle perspectives of the original image. Each shape follows some element from the photo and lets its perspective continue beyond the page. I believe this represents time outside of what we see. We may not know what happens outside of this image's boundaries, but we do understand that time still existed in that unknown zone.
Utilizing the same perspective shapes, I created a double sided invitation. Bold colors and a dynamic front side leads the viewer to the informational yet still structural back side.


This piece focuses around the use of a single photo, repeated many times to allow it's repetitive nature to blur and almost act like somewhat of an optical illusion. What I then did was cover certain areas with "drip-like" structures, hiding some of the film stills, while revealing others. The drips represent a movement of time but in a same moment a masking of time. Memory is not always linear. Some memories may paint over others and abstract one another.

Using the same format as the poster, I created an eye catching and dynamic front side to the invitation while leaving the backside more minimal. Due to the amount of text, I felt the backside should remain unclutted while still also hold onto the interesting film stills and drips.
