light & shadow: sesame
what lies in the beyond? what exists and what can we know to exist aside from our singular reality? the people of this world are always most concerned and preoccupied with ourselves the most - living in a closed box and being content, justifying our undying most primary interest in ourselves. was there ever a door to escape this linear way our minds are programmed? we may never know.
but observations can for sure tell that there is at least a window. a window to look outside of our boxes into another's. how do you find this window? where is it hidden, and how do you uncover it?
looking beyond yourself into another takes much more. it takes harsh effort. it takes the rerouting of your though processes. it takes willpower.
to come out of you - it takes, ironically, you. so maybe all you need to do in the end is muster the courage to say "open sesame!"
it takes time at first - but you keep trying and maybe one day the window will fully uncover itself. and you'll be able to see that maybe reality wasn't supposed to be so singular after all. [photos taken to imitate a timelapse]

final project proposal
project title: everyone's no man's land
project description: inspired from samantha cavet's artistry with photography in creating ethereal landscape photographs, these series of photographs highlight the never-ending, all-permeable existence of humanity creeping into nature - where no man's land exists no more and all land is every man's land. ever since i was little, my family always has had an interest in hiking - even going on a cross country road trip dedicated to it. what i've come to realize after exploring most of the country is that the founding concept of manifest destiny in this country has long since turned to myth and legend. every "hiking" hotspot dedicated to exploring the remote and "untouched" is in fact littered with manmade signs, gates, or posts. highlighting this aspect of what nature has turned into now in the concept for this project. key aspects of these photographs include use of natural lighting, man-made center subjects, an emphasis on the green and yellow tones in color, and the contrast between brighter and dark pictures due to fluctuations in sunlight.
outcomes:
6 images
light retouching in photoshop if needed
settings: hiking trails, fishing spots, hunting areas, roadside woods
methods and materials:
canon camera
photoshop
natural lighting
reference: samantha cavet artist photographer

after dark: warmth
having built a small world for herself, our protagonist feels alone.
it was her world and there was only her in it with no one else, but our protagonist seems dissatisfied. they didn't know how to describe the feeling other than lonely, so that was how they labeled it. boxing herself with that word and feeling sorry for herself over and over they sigh,
"ah. i see. so this is what being lonely is called. so i am lonely."
they begin to wonder was the opposite of being lonely was, but was not knowledgable in the words used outside of this fixed lonely world of theirs. so they logically determined that the opposite of being lonely could only be not being lonely. trying to imitate this self-proclaimed definition, our protagonist tries all sorts of things to be not lonely.
our protagonist has yet to realize that there was an another world opposite for they was looking for, and it was not being not lonely. it was warmth.

lukasz spychala; fine art analog polish photographer
this photographer draws in dreamy, nostalgic motifs juxtaposed with naturalness in his work. which highly aligns with messaging and concepts that i am interested in. originally passionate about feminine and nude portraits, he pivoted to a different theme for his award winning series "another world." it is this series that [he] personally think[s] is his best published set to date. he explains that the idea for "the series was created out of [his] consideration about whether it is worth dreaming and having dreams. you never know which of our dreams will come true, even if they seem like distant dreams.
the dream is real or the reality is a dream… staying in a dream, the dream is real… life is actually like a dream…" (thephoblographer.com)
personally as an amateur writer, the poetry and intention through how this series makes the viewer feel is definitely something that i want to imitate as i develop my photography skills.
