This assignment is very timely as I have been thinking about who I am and what direction I want to go professionally a lot to the point of agonizing about it. I am applying to graduate schools with programs in art history and curatorial/museum studies at the moment and depending on the day and my mood my enthusiasm is great and also not so great. I have also been thinking about home a lot. When I visited Austria in 2005 I was so comfortable that I almost stayed. So who am I and what do I want to be and where do I want to be, those are the big looming questions.
Aside from my love for art I have always loved science and I recall being totally absorbed during one of the anatomy classes I took. I am fascinated with the intricate systems of the human body.
While shooting this assignment I noticed how much the day-to-day objects in one's life will take on meaning, from the shape of my dog's favorite ball - apart from the emotional connection it reminds me of Buckminster-Fullerene or a Geodesic dome - to simple kitchen utensils of daily use. All of it informs our visual world and becomes endlessly fascinating to me.
