This photograph represents how nature is battling with human interference and the disruptive relationship between the two.

I find the dry and empty space around the tree portrayed in this photograph a way to represent the contrast of the natural world and man made objects. The tree appears like a human, almost sitting for a portrait, but is stuck in an environement that it doesn't appear to belong in any longer.

RaMell Ross

Dakesha and Marquise 2012

I chose this photograph by RaMell Ross because it strongly relates to my keyword “Connection.” The image shows a woman lying on the floor inside a home, with a child outside in the garden, surrounded by natural light and shadows. It inspires me because it captures the emotional bond between people and environment, the connection to home, family, and nature.

This work will help my project by showing how connection can be about family, home, and the spaces we live in, not just about people interacting with each other.

This display from the V&A's permanent collection was the clearest, and most direct representation of my keyword, Tension. The display, entitled "WHAT IS 'GOOD' DESIGN?", places an AK-47 assault rifle against a molded plywood leg splint. These two objects encase and explore a monumental tension of a ethical and philosophical nature, which is beyond just visual or physical tension. The placard text, "Kill or heal" succinctly describes this pivotal tension. This display incorporates the notion of "uncomfortable harmony" because both objects are effective, and efficient, examples of design, and their functionalities are in entirely, morally opposed directions. This juxtaposition forces the viewer to appreciate the design practice while grappling with the two conflicting consequences. Most importantly, the display asks the difficult question around the designers responsibility, which I believe is far more influential than just stating opinion.

This display has inspired me to extend my project beyond the description of the physical tension (for example, tensegrity), to now include social and ethical tensions as well. For my own practical element, I will strive to create a similar experience of "uncomfortable harmony" through experimenting with materials and forms that are in conceptual opposition. Ultimately, with my final outcome, I will present a piece in which the audience will be asked to play an active role. This display exhibited the power of the created experience, and how to evoke a thoughtful engagement, rather than just present a passive object to view.

I picked this Alethiometer device because it feels like a mixture between a compass and a pocket clock. The symbols around the sides look like they hold hidden knowledge, and the idea of linking time, direction and meaning connects well to my theme.

The hands are literally connected, showing an emotional and physical connection between people. Why I’m saying “people”? Because this was made for Bobby as a personal and intimate gift. The hands are separate parts of the body, but when joined, they make a new form that can also be, can also see as a reconstruction.

In many cultures across the globe, Tiger’s physical strength, courage, bravery and its defensive protection contributed to its symbolism as power.

"The Kabah / Baitullah(very centre black square shape with gold line-house of Allah SWT), (Allah/God -is the creator, controller, sustained, owner of each and everything, what we can see and what we can not see).

The 1st house in the planet was built in Mecca. This is the central secret Mosque for the Muslims around the world.

The Muslims Community who have ability in physically and financially, they must have visit the kabah to performed hajj minimum once in a life time.

The others all mosque in the whole world should be face towards to the kabah.

So, when the Muslims Community daily perform/praying five time Salah/Namaj, their face should be Kabah direction.

Every year in the month of Hajj about 3 million peoples performing their Hajj from the whole world, there are different language, nationality, colour, culture, food, test, but their faith, prayer and perform Hajj is same, is 1.

On the top of the picture, the language is Arabic. It is Quranic language.

The Quran is the last and final holy book to guide mankind from almighty Allah (SWT), revealed to His last and final messenger, Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon Him) 1450 years ago.

Before the Quran, there was another holy books as Jabur, Bible, Taurat.

All the holy books came from the same creator, Allah (SWT), through His previous Messengers, like Prophet Adam, Abraham, Nooha, Moges, Jessas and final and last Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon Him), completed His religion Islam(peace) by the Quran.

This photograph, from the V&A's collection, is a perfect piece to use for a project about "connection" because it shows a clear visual representation of human connection.

Keyword: Connection

This stained-glass window at the V&A Museum makes me think of my keyword, because stained glass wasn't just decorative, but also a way to connect people to stories, religion and community. I also see connection in the way light passes through the glass, connecting the outside world with the interior space. For me this artwork represents how art can connect history, people and evolution.

This photograph made me stop and really ignited my curiosity. There is something dark and secretly about it. The black empty background, the dark long hair and the prominent ruffle blouse created sense of tension and uneasiness. And simultaneously make you ask specific questions. It really made me think how after a stressing experience we all strive for finding balance and inner comfort. The longest ever journey of finding ourselves.

This photo, from the V&A's collection of photography from the United States, reminds me of the famous Ukrainian painter Kazimir Malevich. His story connects deeply to my project because I explore different sides of power — including the power of art and propaganda.

Why propaganda? Because for many years, Malevich was presented to the world as a Russian artist. Even today, some people still believe this, despite his clear Ukrainian roots.

Artwork: Untitled

This photo represent the beauty yet strength of nature, that regardless how many building and things we create in it's way, Nature is constantly adapting and taking back what it's rightfully it's "domain".

I found this as I was walking back home from work, the transport did not work because of strike so I had the "opportunity" to enjoy a long calm walk trough the quiet small neighbourhood of London.

I saw a sculpture of a human and an animal locked in a struggle, and it really resonated with my keyword, “Disrupt.” Even without knowing the exact title, I could see the artist wanted to show conflict — both physical and symbolic — by twisting the figures together. It unsettled me: instead of a calm, balanced scene, there’s tension, motion, something wild bursting out of order.

What this inspires for my project is how disruption can be messy and raw. The sculpture makes me think about power, where animals represent instinct or nature and humans represent control or reason. When they are forced together, it breaks what we expect. For me, that means in my own work I want to push contrasts — between chaos and order, between beauty and struggle.

I chose this image because religion is an important part of my cultural identity. For many people around the world, religion is not just part of their spirituality, it is a pathway to their morals, traditions and yes, even friendships. I believe that everyone - regardless of religion - has some beliefs about some thing. Those beliefs shape how they live and make life meaningful. This is often intrinsic comfort, certainty and peace to reference when moving through the obstacles of life. For me, religion is linked to my background and gives me value and identity.

The photo is a Knitted patchwork cardigan worn by Harry Styles during rehearsals for a show in February 2020. It is a colourful cardigan comprising of different bold colours including green, red, black, and yellow. I liked it because the colours and patchwork represented the diversity in a community coming together. The cardigan went viral during the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many individuals tried crafts to fill up their free time. It inspired many Harry Styles fans to come up with DIY's and created a community of individuals with a hands-on attitude through the DIY experiences.

For my project, it is an inspiration as it directs me on coming up with different parts/artefacts found in a community to make a whole in a way that connects everyone on a personal level.

For me, the stamp “Russian warship, go fuck yourself” is a symbol of courage and resistance of my people. It shows the strong tension between Ukraine and Russia that we feel every day. My word tension is connected to this because it reflects fear, anger, and bravery at the same time. In this stamp, I see how conflict creates both inner and outer tension that we live through and try to overcome.

Kylie Minogue Dressing Room -Symbolically, the dressing room is the bridge between two worlds: the private life of the person and the public persona of the celebrity. It's the space where she transforms and connects with the character or identity she's about to portray on stage. This transformation is a powerful metaphor for the act of connection—the blending of self with a public role. The dressing room is also the final point of connection to the audience before the show begins. It's where the anticipation builds, a silent link to the thousands of people waiting for her to step out. The door separating the dressing room from the stage symbolizes the barrier between these two states, and crossing that threshold completes the connection with her fans.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia, by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of TV Show Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic motorcycle and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.

I chose this photograph because it strongly connects with my keyword reconstruct. The image represents a young woman facing motherhood at an early age, which reflects a moment of deep transformation in her life. Pregnancy is not only a physical change, but also an emotional and personal reconstruction of identity.

This photograph inspires my project because it shows how a woman rebuilds herself through experience, responsibility and resilience. In my work, reconstruct is about how women evolve, adapt and grow after important life events, especially motherhood. This image helps me explore the idea of reconstruction as a natural and powerful process of change.
