When I first heard about this project, I honestly did not know what I wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to create really intriguing and unique images, but was not quite sure how to go about that. Through looking at images on the internet for inspiration, I finally figured out what I wanted to do: out of focus bright lights that stand out against the dark background. Once I figured out what I wanted to do, I was on a straight path. I had a "vision," for lack of a better word, and was determined to create the images I wanted. However, when it came to book making I did not know what would be best: an actual book or just one big poster with all the images. I decided to go with the poster because I knew it would be a more fulfilling experience for the audience who will be shown my work to see all the images together. Given what I know now about my work, I would have pushed myself even further to try different compositions of the lights in the images. I also would have liked to get different background colors besides the green, blue, and black I already have.
In these images, the lights emerge from the blurred out dark backgrounds, making light the only character. This project was definitely a turning point in my path as a visual artist because it gave me the courage to step outside my comfort zone. It was a rewarding experience to create a work of art that I have never seen or done before. This project was extremely meaningful because it gave me a sense of what types of images I will want to create in the future. Because these images are very interesting, I can experiment in the future with a similar style, but a different composition.
