A SENSE OF BELONGING
Spring 2020
For this collection I wanted to create a digital platform or website where my customer would be able to feel serenity, tranquility, peace and essentially a sense of belonging. I wanted to create a space that can encompass a stronger connection with my customer further on than the product that’s being sold. Giving my customer the ability to try new at home activities that can be done to better their mental health, their own stability, and become a form of therapy. I wanted my customers to not only understand my own depiction of serenity, peace, and tranquility but also generate their own.
PEACE. TRANQUILITY. SERENITY.
A Sense of Belonging
At the start of this project I was moved by finding a sense of purpose, ground, and connection with my inspiration. After looking at old photos that I had taken from my family’s album I was able to create a collage that depicted a strong color pallet, family background, and emotion. I have always noticed that I have a strong sense of belonging, that comes from my family, my childhood home, and country.
I invite you to take a look at my Open Studio Video Presentation that talks about my sources of inspiration, work process, and final outcomes.
