The collage beautifully shows the contrast between the culture and modern, which continue to exist side by side, in mixed form and that symbolises how we continue to honour our past, while continuing to move forward, which blends both the times of history, and allows us to seamlessly experience both eras together seamlessly.

From the film, the audience could analyse the way in which Kukeri blends the past with the present and honors it using tradition in a modern world. Similarly, I made a collage out of these 2 images, which blend the old with the new and show the past and the present. Majority of the audience, at first glance, will be able to understand what I mean. The image primarily shows the transition of humans from the past to the present. The way how us humans, have used nature and resources, to transform the environment into a modern world, today. The image uses the most common form of imagery, the visual imagery, which will make the audience think and imagine about the past and the future. Us, Humans have used nature and it’s resources for our benefits, and created the industrial revolution to such an extent that we forget to appreciate and honor the nature and the past. Sometimes, we also take it for granted. Overexploitation of forests and overfishing are 2 great examples of how we are taking nature for granted. That being the reason, I made a collage out of these 2 images and chose these images to jog everyone’s memory as to how us, humans have evolved. We all need to realize and appreciate the fact that the present and the future, has a connection with the past. One of the best examples of that is the transition of humans into the modern world, using nature and its resources.

This minuet I composed for solo cello  represents the mesh between older traditional styles and new contemporary styles of musical composition. The piece blends traditional techniques such as recurring melodic themes with newer, more modern techniques such as displaying a vivid and colorful atmosphere through uses of pizzicato and dynamic key changes.

Chicago artist Nick Cave says he has always been fascinated with items cast off by other people. The Missouri native and his team assemble thrift-store finds into life-size creations that are part sculpture, part costume, which he calls "Soundsuits." When you see one, Cave wants you to wonder, "What am I encountering?"

The following collage displays some architectural marvels produced by the Mughals, Romans, and Greeks. I chose the collage as my artifact as it shows how the knowledge and interdisciplinary understanding possessed by these Civilizations of subjects like mathematics, architecture, physics, and geography (and many more!) helped them create such wonders. I will not fail to mention, these civilizations were also the longest-lasting, thus their psychological and political understanding was also great. Therefore, is it safe to say whatever cultural developments occur, it is thanks to greater knowledge and understanding of certain or multiple subjects?

Kate LeBlanc introduced us to this artist, Julie Elman, an associate professor of visual communication at Ohio University. In Prof. Elman's "Fear Project," people submit their fears to the project’s website, and Elman visually interprets them, bringing them to life. Perhaps the most interesting part, aside from the striking visuals, is the resulting effect. The venture brings different fears together on one interface, normalizing and destigmatizing fear as a bad part of everyday life.

How can visualizing one's fears transform them?

The Fear Project uses art to visually interpret the parts of life that scare us the most, normalizing fear as a part of ourselves.

All illustrations by Julie Elman.

Julie Elman, like many artists, struggles with fear of the blank page. The creative process demands risk-taking, resilience, and messiness. An associate professor of visual communication at Ohio University, Elman understood the expectation to practice what she preached. To move beyond her fear and to explore what she was teaching her students, she conceived the Fear Project.

People submit their fears to the project's website, and Elman visually interprets them, bringing them to life. Perhaps the most interesting part, aside from the striking visuals, is the resulting effect. The venture brings different fears together on one interface, normalizing and destigmatizing fear as a bad part of everyday life.

The Fear of Wrongful Imprisonment

Though Elman admits that she is no psychologist, she posits that, to a certain degree, sharing and voicing a fear can be validating. And after validation comes solidarity. "I can try to translate the person's description of a fear into something visual that others can relate to," she explains.

Psychologist, author, and professor Noam Shpancer says that speaking out about difficult experiences or fears provides a sense of strength, security, and relief. Thus, one scared voice becomes a community of empowered voices. "We tend to find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone in our troubles," he explains. In psychology, it's well established that confronting fear is essential in learning to manage it. The Fear Project's root in the visual only emphasizes this. "Great art articulates for us things about ourselves and our experience that cannot be easily and well expressed otherwise," Shpancer adds. Like what Elman does: She opens a forum to explore fears among us.

She approaches each submission, each fear, the same way: Don't overanalyze, just do.

The Fear of Losing Control

Dubbed the "fear collector" by Modern Weekly, Elman describes how what began as an experimental exercise evolved into an ongoing creative undertaking. "It didn't take me long to get past any fears I had about pumping something out and putting it out there. The good, the bad, and the ugly-I posted them all." The subsequent pieces range from the fear of moths to the fear of peeing in front of others. She always follows her gut, creating high-impact images through the use of vibrant, screaming color.

The majority of her pieces include passages from actual submissions while others feature what is called "asemic writing." This kind of illegible, nonspecific writing adds texture and, in Elman's opinion, captures the very core of that person's fear. "I imagine what the person might be saying, or shouting, at that time, and I scribble out those words without making them legible. In some way, I think this infuses the spirit of that person, and his or her fear, into the piece I'm creating." It is this relationship among fear, individual, and artist that drives the project forward, making fear acceptable and tangible.

The Fear of the Unknown

Elman isn't sure what makes fear so compelling. On a personal level, she says she wants to avoid dwelling in the negative and believes that fear's universality, in contrast to the lengths we go to conceal it from others, dictates many of our choices. Ironically, still a worrier by nature, Elman understands that finding ways to push through beats the bleak alternative: "Sitting at home, curled up in a ball, avoiding that very thing that scares us most."

Fear, she says, either cripples or motivates, and the ones we grant control to almost always have the potential to provide us with the most memorable moments.

How is the film a mirror of me?
I believe that this film is something that represents love for culture, and traditions, which is something I also tend to do. I love the Indian culture, the festivals, and the diversity in the nation. I take pride in my culture and traditions, and try my best to preserve them. For example, many people today have forgotten the real meaning of Diwali which is the festival of lights, and not crackers, this is why I celebrate the festival by lighting Diyas(a kind of candle) as it should be celebrated.
