Mind-map – Lock

In this Project I would like to focus on the theme of being entrapped and interlocked between different media: such as glass,plastic,canvases,etc. I aim to use a range of human body parts, such as: hands, faces , silhouettes of bodies, side profiles. I would let to set the theme of lock by using black and white colors and tones with some possible contrastingfabricsofother props.

In my first recording observation, my class went on a school trip to different cultural site. (An Arab art museum, Katara cultural village, and the Aljazeera fire station). I experimented with the theme of Lock by photographing interlocking architecture and designs.
