By other means:


Concept:

To represent one's life, the choices they make and how it affects their life. To illustrate how confusing life is and not knowing where one is going; the endless possibilities in one's life.

Representing by other means:

This is my original concept that I wanted to portray through a video installation. Having to represent this idea through other means got me thinking of a lot of ideas. One thing that came to mind was a kaleidoscope. A kaleidoscope gives a viewer an amazing array of patterns and visual interest by a very simple means of colored paper and a few small mirrors (a kaleidoscope in its simplest form). The patterns a kaleidoscope creates is constantly changing and very unique. If I were to use images of myself, places I've been, people I know, etc. to create my own kaleidoscope, I would successfully represent my idea in a personal way.


Online Kaleidoscope Painter

This site allows the user to create their own patterns of a kaleidoscope with a simple paint application. The patterns created parallel the idea of someone moving through life and having different choices, different paths to follow.
