Relations to Hito’s essay

 My piece reflects the degradation of an image over time, but rather than a physical thing it’s a memory, more of a feeling than anything. In relations to the classes she mentions in her writing, my piece is more reserved, it’s for me, it’s something I cherish and love. There isn’t a loss in aura, there isn’t reproduction of the image, because it comes from my mind. it isn’t just what’s on the paper, it’s what’s on the paper that reminds me of the feelings in that moment. In the end, it’s a piece only I will truly understand.

That feels pretty shitty because I don’t think I’ll be able to get all I want out of this class, but we’ll figure it out on the way I suppose. Here are my final videos

I gave myself a time constrained to further develop the sense of degradation not only through memory and extended time, but the lack of time as well.
