Project 1 Statement

My images for this series all contain the necessities that i find essential to my life and to my existence on this Earth. With the mindset that i may never return to these things again, or a place relatively similar, i would want to bring photographs with me that are dear to me, physically and emotionally. Such photographs portraying this physical yearning and memory include phenomena and events that i believe are exclusive to our planet, as well as my life and experiences on it. The photographs that contain imagery of rain, clouds, the seasons, and the sea, i believe are beautiful and exclusive to Earth, and i would want to remember those. Other emotional needs come in the form of photographs portraying memories of childhood, emotions of safety, warmth, and comfort as well as emotions of freedom and escape. I would also like to remember myself, my identity and image through a self-portrait, assuming there would be no mirrors on a spaceship. Overall, these photographs would sustain me physically and emotionally as they portray what i hold dearest to me.
