Blog Post 8: Statement of Intent
Statement of Intent:
“Slower, even more”
The message of my work will be to reflect on the fast pace of the modern society. With the advancement of technology, the pace at which people live their lives also becomes more rapid. There will be individuals who eagerly want success and end up losing themselves. I want the audience to learn to enjoy the long process of life and slow down the pace instead of going with the flow. I hope the audience can understand that things in life don’t necessarily need to have meaning, so it is unnecessary to have a lot of pressure in fast-paced times, we need to live a carefree life. For inspiration, I will try to find a photographer who explores architecture and its calmness with simplified composition. I want to find photographs that explore different types of motions. We cannot afford to give ourselves constant mental exhaustion because of the current society. In more time, we should put down the stone in our hearts and focus on living every day well.
