Micro Project 3

For my personal spot on campus I chose the parking
garage off Lane, near the business school. I chose this spot because I commute
and the parking spot on the fifth floor I use is really the one place on campus
I think belongs to me. I love sitting here in my car looking out over the
business school, so for my first picture I chose to show this. It’s the view I
have from my parking spot and if you look closely on the pillar you’ll see my
Irish cross. I chose this as my statue because I have had it since I was 5
years old and it is something that I believe defines me. I also didn’t want it
to be very big since I feel that religion is not something that is to be
flaunted. I feel instead that it is something that people should be able to see
but not feel overcome by. For my second picture I chose the view you would see
if you were standing beside my statue. The view looks out over campus and I
find it to be incredibly beautiful, so I decided to give it a “rustic” olden
day photograph type feel. I feel like it freezes the picture in time and
increases the beauty of it. My third picture is supposed to show how I feel
every morning approaching my spot. I am often confused and tired in the morning
so I decided to blur the photo by rotating it over on top of itself several
times. I also chose to paint on the bottom left wall, “I’m already there.” I
wanted this to show how I might be physically here but mentally somewhere off
in the distance. So while my personal spot is a place I find beautiful, it is
also a place I go and think about being somewhere else.
