1. Everybody lives by a script. The script may be implicit or explicit. It may be recognized or unrecognized, but everybody has a script.
2. We get scripted. All of us get scripted through the process of nurture and formation and socialization, and it happens to us without our knowing itAnn Fran

Mask.


The purpose of wearing a mask is to portray something different than the real self. Maybe not something entirely different, but something extra. When this project was first assigned, the first question I asked myself was, “For what reason would you wear a mask?” When I reflected on this question, I found that the first answer that came to mind was, “to be more beautiful”. If I was to wear a mask, I would want it to be beautiful. But not the typical image of beauty- something more extraordinary, stunning, exceptional, that would set my apart from the people around me.

earth works


For our "earth works" shoot, we used a number of
mirrors, windows, and frames and a human model to represent mans'
relationship with nature. We hung the various objects from surrounding trees,
creating a sort of depth. We used clear fishing string to give the illusion of
a more natural presence of the unexpected things we chose to present in nature.
We originally intended to install the objects from the ground, similar to stonehenge,
but the plan changed as time went on. We still sought to incorporate and
compliment nature and promote awareness of the three levels of
human relationship with nature we chose to depict.
Explanation of mediation between man and nature shown in our project
*Empty Frames- Holistic view, Man immediately In nature, oneness with earth, no separation
*Windows- looking through, awareness without unity, aura of separation
*Mirrors- reflection in nature, detachment, complete separation from the world
Portraits.
The first shot portrays the real self: A colorful, excited, fun, sometimes ridiculous, woman overflowing with life.
The second photograph shows the ideal self: classy, collected, woman in a sophisticated, confident pose.

The Image of God

This photograph is my representation of the incarnation of God. The biblical truth that “God was manifest in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16) is a vital aspect of the Christian faith. The woman in the photo symbolizes Mary as an expecting mother. She will soon “bear a Son” and he “will be Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)
I chose this photo to represent my view of God because the idea of incarnation is fascinating to me. I put my faith in a God who saw the desperate condition of earth, and sent hope. I worship a God who took the sins of the world upon himself because of his great love for humanity.
The incarnation is taken much too lightly. So much of the time we participate in Christmas festivities without thought of the significance. The joy of Christmas should be inseparably bound to the incarnation. The joy of the Christian’s life should be inseparably bound to the incarnation as well.
Galatians 4:4-5: But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
