This concept is to evoke time. Being an athlete, especially a track athlete, time is always weighing on your shoulder. We train for long hours, day and night, multiple times a day even, just to decrease our racing time. Runners want to run quicker in races, and sometimes that requires running for a longer period of time if you are a cross country athlete. Sprinters train through short but intense speeds, aiming to get stronger each rep. Another aspect of being an athlete is that everything comes to an end. I am a senior, going through the last stretch of being a competitive athlete, starting since my early childhood. This year time is catching up to me quickly, as I aim to continue training to run a faster time, a Personal Best, one last time for my athletic career. 

 

For this project, I wanted to capture a scene where it shows an old-looking town that is in line for demolition. I wanted to try and portray it as getting old filed with vines and growing rivers, while on the other side it's growing another community where they are improving in life instead of sticking with the old. I wanted to try to incorporate forests and things that would make it look like a forest almost.

For my project, I used this small glass chest to create a glass house. When I think of my home, I think of how many years I have spent there and how much I've grown. Because of this, I decided to make a cacoon and butterflies represent my parents, older brother, and myself. I like the idea of a glass house because it holds no secrets and you can see everything inside at once. After living somewhere for such a long time, you know it inside out, every detail, just like looking through glass.

For my project, I wanted to show the differences in how people used to get their knowledge versus how they get their knowledge now. If we have a question, we simply ask google. If we need to define something, we go to the online Webster dictionary. I wanted to contrast this by showing our phones inside a library, which used to be where people would find everything they needed to know.
