I had several feedbacks on my self initiated brief already from last term and this term, but to be honest, I haven't really moved on far as I wanted it to be. The overall my interest lies in female in society mainly about beauty and how women are been represented through social media. The topic of my interest is so broad at the moment, so I feel like I need to definitely narrow it down at some point..So this weekend's task for myself would be to concentrate on focusing down my interest in one topic and possibly work on the medium for the final piece. The sort of medium I am thinking right now is an interaction between light and body which I have done similar work in past (shown below:Tarot Card project 2008). Also, I want my final piece to contain photography, collage and some illustrations ( I might think it may be a form of a magazine or book). If I would to take some photograph it would mean I would need some probes and model so I better figure out what I want to provoke for the viewer as soon as possible!!

Aemin Annie Lee
Annie's print work involves images of the "Barbie" Doll and of paper dolls."I returned to the innocence of my childhood, only to realize how adulterated childhood can be." The child "role playing" as an adult is a strong theme throughout Annie's work. Annie explores the curiosity and innocence that a child can have in her six page "Letter From Barbie". The images read: "My name is Barbie. What is yours? So you want to play with me? Let's play doctor! What about playing parents? Have you kissed? Why don't we try that…"

"These doll forms and pieces represent how a majority of women feel about their bodies and how they are 'disconnected' from the total person. We all have our flaws, but for some reason women are viewed as less than perfect when all the pieces don't conform to what most, especially men, think the female body should be, or how they would like the female body 'to be.' As a result, we would like to fly away to a place where no judgments are made. Also we feel trapped and bound to conform to standards that are not realistic. All eyes are on us."
Lisa Ruth
"Worn Out Doll". The segment explores various strong personal themes such as suppression, isolation and depression through typography, motion graphics, music, still and video images, along with 3D and hand drawn animation pieces. All of the elements combine to explore the dark side of human nature. Lisa is also a poet and musician.
