Midterm Project Conclusion
In the process of making this midterm, though it was quite a challenge, I did manage to find some peace. My whole goal with “Moments of Peace” was to actively search for things that made the anxiety seem like less of a persistent problem-- made the nagging feeling at the back of my mind creep away for a moment, and I not only succeeded in doing that with the outcome of my photographs and videos, but also in the execution of this project as a whole.
Making “Moments of Peace” made me have to take a step back, and actively look for things that caught my eye. I realized that most often, my inner peace comes in three forms (water, weather, and light) but I also was reminded that mental wellness is not just a passive thing that we are victim to. We have to search for wellness, and try to grasp it ourselves. Searching for things that made me feel calm, made me relax, was such a time consuming, mind consuming process that I had no time to worry about existential dread and fears for the future-- I was too busy staring at puddles and setting up tripods and peering at the sky looking for interesting shapes.
I found that I was too consumed by the process of creating art to worry. And in the process, this project helped me more than I thought it would.
and of course, listening to soft chill tunes of acoustic guitars and gentle piano chords constantly, looking for the mood that suited the photos helped as well ❤
