Everyone Has Their Own

17/02 & 24/02 EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STORY

I explored the idea of people being packed into one space but all having their own stories or realities and pressures even though their areas are being shared. Therefore, I can still focus on the stories of individuals but not making the topic completely and only focused on them, as this was not working in the way I had imagined. A lot of the people who responded to the surveys did not have events in their life that have completed changed them in any way so it was difficult to find just a few people to focus on, therefore I will be looking at feelings of living in London generally.

I also looked into taking this into a very editorial approach but focusing on symbolism through illustration. I do like how this was working out but I would need to think much more into this idea for it to become something I would continue to develop into a final piece. I began to put my work into context and display it within magazine formats to see exactly how this

would work best and with what articles I could accompany alongside it.

I continued to look into the idea of people’s stories. I have felt much more stuck with my work and may need to rethink the direction of it, as I don’t think the survey answers will give me too much to work from and document, even if I was to visit the spaces and interview the people in more depth.
