For my final project,
I’ve decided to expand my persona project and turn it into a Zoetrope (is a
19th-century cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when
viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of
continuous motion). For me being a woman in this world hasn’t always been the
easiest thing for me but has taught me a lot. Throughout my life, I have always
been this shy, quiet, reserved girl. But towards the end of my freshmen year
here at UNH I met some amazing people who have turned out to be some of my best
friends and since then I have really stepped out of my comfort zone. This
allowed me to start to become the person I wanted to be. I’m not perfect I have
many flaws and insecurities such as issues with my weight (I’ve always been on
the heavy side), skin issues, hair loss issues (hormone thing). I’ve been
working so hard to try and resolve these issues one step at a time. By doing so
it has made me a stronger and more confident person and I will continue to work
on resolving my issues. What I am trying to get at here is that we all have
flaws and insecurities and we are not perfect. Us women have to stick together
(I have more to say but them I’d just be rambling so I’ll leave it at that).
The images show myself, starting with a silhouette with my
hands over my face. Slowly the images get brighter and I start to open my hands
to reveal myself. There were 14 images but I had to edit two out because they wouldn’t
fit in the Zoetrope.
The zoetrope came out so good! I am so amazed. Great job moving the lights around to go from total silhouette to seeing you in full light. You can tell how much time you put into making the zoetrope. The zoetrope moving around to slowly reveal yourself is such a cute idea too.
