Thoughts: Walking around in public with the costume on was a little difficult and nerve racking mostly because the suit was slowly falling off my shoulders despite pinning it so it wouldn't and I had ended up making the eye holes a little too far apart so I can really only see in front of me with one eye with my head turned to the side. I was worried that people would stare at me but turns out college students don't really care and would hardly stare. In fact, some of the people that we had asked to act normal (the girls on the floor in the library and the cashier) were willing to go along with it and were happy to help.
Thoughts: The project was not too difficult but rather required a lot of time. I decided to go with something traditional to me (my Puerto Rican heritage) and also continued the concept of my 2d series that were photographs of my childhood recreated in different media. This costume is called a Vejigante. It is a demon that people dress as in Carnaval in Puerto Rico. The mask vary in colors and forms (some have more horns, others have larger teeth, others have no beak, etc.). I went with one of two traditional color schemes: red, green, and yellow. I thought that this costume would bring more thought onto the viewers on the concept of religion and heritage, how in Latin countries, Carnaval would not be complete with people dressed as demons despite most of the population being religious and hating demons and anything relating to the Devil. The costume serves as a question to whether there is a line between religion and tradition (much like how Duchamp had his viewers question whether a urinal can be considered as art or what defined art).
Thoughts: Using the stool from Stool Days, I decided to emphasize its usage to me which was holding my art materials as I used them. Since I had left over materials from previous projects, I decided to use those to not waste the materials or buy new ones. The project was more lighthearted and didn't cause a lot of stress. It was more relaxing as it was recycled materials that hardly needed too much alteration. I also went extra and added a drawer to the table. If I had more time I probably would have tried making more shelves for the other available spaces but decided that it's use wouldn't last too long anyways and decided against it.

So . . . my human says that it's best I don't drive . . . and then she put me in the back . . . Like, why couldn't I even go to the backseat rather than the trunk? This is abuse.
We decided to play some games. Mostly hide and seek. I think my place was great . . .
My next hiding spot wasn't so great tho . . .
But my stupid human made it worse.
Why did she even have to take a close up picture!? That's just mean!
So then I went for a different spot. I blended in perfectly. (And I was high up but whatever.)
