Project 2

REFLECTION For this second project, originally I wanted to do another story about the topic. Instead of Slavery, I wanted to foucs on the mythology of Indian culture. With this in mind, at first I wanted to focus on the Cryptids of India. Crytids, as explained in the video essay, are creatures and animals thatContinue reading “Project 2”

A love song for a puppet suicide

So, I love music. I can play a few instruments and a few different genres and I wrote an admittedly pretty bad song for my last project. However this time I’ve chosen to compose a song related to the love suicide theme of bunraku theatre and Chikamatsu’s Love Suicides’ at Amijima. The song I composedContinue reading “A love song for a puppet suicide”

Entanglement in Kalidasa

Between Kalidasa and Chikamatsu, I enjoyed Kalidasa much more. For this reason, I have chosen to focus on it for my third project.

On the Topic of Unessay #2

“They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles and scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets.” Tagore, “On the Seashore” On the Topic of Innocence Everything was freeOurContinue reading “On the Topic of Unessay #2”

“The Dew Breaker” Character Study

For my project, I chose to make character-based potion bottles based on Edwidge Danticat’s “The Dew Breaker.” Plot-crucial characters I felt like I had a good grasp on in terms of characterization are who I focused on, and that narrowed down to Anne, Ka, and the Preacher. I was going to include Dany, as well,Continue reading ““The Dew Breaker” Character Study”

Project 2 – The Spiderweb

Now I am in no ways an artist and would never try and take a chance on a project. This time I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and try to depict the entirety of The Dew Breaker and its intertwining storylines through drawing.
