I pick this place because RPAC is definitely my favorite place on campus. I work out and see other people work out here everyday, and this keeps reminding me how short life is and how people utilize the limited time they have and produce higher energies from themselves. Sports sparkle lives. So, I decided to look for my spot in this area, also to search for my inspiration of life. I came downstairs and noticed the huge transparent glasses on the ground. I looked into it, there is no reflections at all. Since I’m so fascinated about French right now, I decided to use my French textbook as my sculpture to show my passion about my life and my great outlook for my future. I picked a spot, which is close to other people but more isolated on my own. I saw people walking by on the outside, then I was intrigued thinking that I knew people looking at the inside, what exactly do they see. I remembered my previous experience that whenever I looked inside, I only noticed what people were doing. But I never noticed if I can see myself or they will also pay attention to me. When I’m inside the building, I think I’m invisible and people outside are exposed. But when I’m outside, I think people inside cannot see me at all. I wondered what this little peeking and spying psychological thoughts would be shown on my camera. So I stepped outside and took this picture with my reflection, with my sculpture and another back image of a boy inside. So if the sculpture represents me, then this picture shows I see myself through a glass and people inside look like they are outside with me and observe myself with me, but the real me is actually only a reflection…… so am I invisible or not? Then I use the photoshop to enlarge my sculpture so I hope I could be noticed if I’m larger than I should be; then I shrinked my sculpture hoping the lady outside wouldn’t see me, but she still caught me anyway.
I’m more intrigued than confused, but I know inside my heart I’m trapped in a paradox. To be honest, although I want my life to be as fabulous as it could be, I still want some peaceful moments only for myself; being caught or being noticed sometimes makes me feel really annoying.
So this spot I pick and the sculpture I use to represent myself shows my identity as a person looking for the best solution to being noticed and anonymous at the same time.
