For my FMP I wanted to create an interactive/immersive event. I chose the topic of salmon farming as it is something important for me and largely looked over in our society. For my experimentation I started looking at the specifics of salmon farming and the environmental impacts within the farming pens. I created some prints that focus on sealice and their effects on salmon. Unfortunately I started my experimentation in a slightly wrong direction and was not able to produce as much visual experimentation just yet.

My major project is looking to visualise the feeling of fragility/ vulnerability in relation to emotional distress and specifically anxiety. The topic circles back to year two of IVM during which I started exploring the topic creating a series of "soap doll" sculptures. Unlike my second year, I am going to move away from a figurative approach and visualise the topic non-objectively.

My project is situated in the broader fine art and partly public engagement sectors. I am looking at a final piece which will ideally exist in an exhibition space and will combine elements of both sculpture and painting/ drawing.

The images attached here depict maquettes, which will need to be enlarged. The three drawings provided are A5. More information about the topic and my research and experimentation can be found in my blog:

*Im still in process of figuring out the final piece.

Challenging Perfection
(I can't upload the full PDF of images of my outcome here so I will be uploading them on my blog). The final outcome is still drying so I can't take a proper photo of the finished piece yet.

Challenging perfection is about testing my limits and my interpretation of perfection as visuals. From this project, I have learnt that sometimes I need to let go of myself, and sometimes 'less is more'. By being less harsh on myself, l have learnt a different way to appreciate my work.

For my final major project I am writing and illustrating a children's book based around my housemate Ari and our pets Loveday(cat) and Dutchess (bunny). I haven't experimented with layouts and text yet so all I have is the illustrations to show and some aren't quite finished as you will notice empty unfinished bits on the illustrations. To give you a better understanding of the storyline very shortly our animals loveday and Dutchess escape the house and go to London Zoo and make friends and bring back home an army of animals!

For my FMP, I wanted to do a project about coral bleaching as I did my SIP on this topic in the first year but I felt like there was more for me to explore. For the past few weeks, I have been investigating how I can communicate the issue through experimental photography processes.

My outcome will be a short film, possibly titled "BLEACHED", that presents prints of 15 photographs that I took before the pandemic bleaching. The print lose their colour, just like corals lose their colour when ocean temperatures rise. Below, is one of the videos I have captured. I have just finished filming all of my photographs bleaching and will be turning them into a 1-2 minute film this week.

Ok Google.
So, the idea is to create two pieces, these two, this will make much more sense in a couple of days, this will be a mix media, at this moment will be acrylic paint, charcoal and pen. This would be a small narrative the first one (left) this one would be to show how disconnected we can feel, while the second (right) is show that things can get better.

I will not be able to explain what will happen next, for now this is like a template for the next step.

For my FMP, I am creating a picture book of Margate. I want to visually explore the seaside town and highlight its history and interest through illustration. So far I have been experimenting with different mediums and materials, working with paint, pencils and felt tips.

My final piece will most likely be a digitally printed book, featuring my analogue illustrations of Margate. I plan to focus next on page layout. As I plan/make my pages I am considering using multiple squares on a page, double page spreads with images stretched out across  and full/half page spreads. I am also going to consider the focus of the image (is it a close up, wide shot etc) to make sure there is variety in my book.

This is not the final  layout, but just a compilation of some experiments I have made so far and thumbnail ideas!

For my FMP I am creating a comic / graphic narrative exploring the relationship between mental health and colour. This narrative is based on a personal experience I had when coming out of a depressive state, and how I realised how much my mental health had altered my surroundings. I wanted to translate this experience into a narrative that speaks to those that may have experienced the same / a similar thing and to discuss the difficulty at breaking out of a toxic mental cycle. Although this narrative is based on a personal experience from a while ago, mental health has been a hugely discussed topic throughout 2020 due to the pandemic and therefore I think it speaks to a present audience.

So far I have been solidifying a narrative concept as well as thumbnailing visual ideas and beginning to develop some final pages using digital media. I aim to have my final piece as both a digital comic and a printed one, below shows my progress so far.

My project is exploring the creation of concept art for the character Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream, but in the context of a video game.

Below is a PDF of a few selected images from throughout my design process, I am currently still working on her outfit/costume design and will be progressing on her hair and wings next. Any feedback you have or notes on her design about what you like/ dislike and think could be improved would be really helpful!

For this project I decided to work with a new medium, yarn! I decided to knit a piece inspired by my personal emotions inspired by the feeling of attachment. I decided to look at the positive side of those emotions and wanted to focus on feeling happy and complete around loved ones. I have just started on the actual knitting so I haven't gotten much done, but you can see the sketches and some process over on my blog :)

This project is narrative-based and is being created as a game. However, the final outcome for FMP will be that of a video piece showcasing some of the driving parts of the story. The game is based on a labyrinth system which is entered by everyone at some point and their objective is to find HER. They do not know what HER is  and it is the player's role to find that something and see for themselves where it leads. By HER I am referring to "love" (because in my language every word has a gender and "love" so happens to be female). Many have the belief that "love" is in fact the most powerful force, so I wanted to explore the topic and see it in a more symbolic way, so that I can show how it is portrayed. In the game you get to jump from a 3D labyrinth world into a 2D dimension which mimics the events as if they happened in real life.

This week I have been studying a lot of symbology and ancient hieroglyphics. Studied each card name and its function in some depth. Next week, I will be focusing more on specific card and character designs.

My Project is on digitally painting capriccio, a kind of fantasy architecture that takes inspiration from specific real architecture. My project focused on Gothic architecture. My final piece pictures gothic architecture mixed with an African Savanah watering hole. The work aims to comment on our perception of nature, conveying natural structure through architecture, and implying its importance.

My project is about recording, spread happiness and sharing my life through food. The outcome would be a recipe book that record food that I usually made and especially under lockdown everyone had to stay home, so through reading this recipe book people can get more cooking inspirations and trying out new things~
I'm still gathering and researching some actual recipes because normally when I cook I don't look at any cookbook or measuring them. So finding some reliable resources would be a nice reference for the outcome.
Below is image of one of the recipes. I aimed to keep it clean and simple. Would be nice if u guys can tell which u prefer: portrait or landscape? And are all the steps clear and easy to follow? Thanks •̀.̫•́✧ ~

After last weeks discussion on my project research and future development, I was encouraged to try and find a narrative hook in my work as a way to guide the viewers through my work, even though I want to take this final project into a more abstract approach.

As I thought more on it, I realised that I had to incorporate something that I have been very reserved and hesitant about including in my project, but very necessary as it is pretty much one of the major ‘ground zero’ research that inspired this project:

A drunken rant on religion and kindness after reading about the life of an unusual Nazi Officer, by the name of Wilm Hosenfeld, Captain of the Wehrmacht Third Reigch.

My project aims to visualise escapism. I gathered responses on how different people picture their 'happy place' or mental escape, and these stories are the foundation of the project. My final outcome will be a series of moving illustrations that portray an escapist utopia, and these will be animated in a seamless loop ( like the first gif here, for example: https://thisisnthappiness.com/post/167049348963/perception-is-reality-andrey-kasay)

The pdf below shows a summary of some scenarios described in my survey, grouped according to the mood and atmosphere. Each has a moodboard and some rough compositional sketches + colour schemes. I intend to maybe combine or cut down to just 3-4 scenes, but right now I'm still exploring composition, lighting and mood.

For my FMP, I aim to create a 1-2 minute digital animation piece. The concept of the narrative is based on memories, and how one associates certain sensory feelings (sight - seeing a certain object or shape, noise - sounds which trigger our memories of environments, touch, etc).
