Self-portrait #1: Energetic
In this photograph, I utilise my face to symbolise my identity, and then my hair to represent I am loud and enthusiastic person. All together, especially with my hair caught in a chaotic motion, represents my energetic personality.
Self-portrait #2: Wired
With the use of the PlayStation controller replacing my eyesight, I am expressing my love for digital technology. I am obsessed with the video game Spyro, I spend majority of my time either on my laptop, my phone, or watching television. I’m rarely in an environment that doesn’t connect me to Wi-Fi or have a strong 4G connection.
Self-portrait #3: Inception
I began this image by taking a photograph on my laptop of me first, and then setting it to full screen. After many attempts I was able to capture myself where I was aligning the picture with me. This digital inception portrays my ability to stay as the same person no matter the situation. Although you’re looking at a photo of me in a photo of me, I still look the exact same as I fail to change myself to suit someone else’s standards, as I advocate maintaining a strong identity.
Self-portrait #4: Lost
This last photograph depicts my blindness about my future. I hate when events and life is not predictable, as boring as that seems., that’s just how it is. I am still unsure of what I want to do when I leave university and it scares me, and this digital image indicates me confused and lost about where I am going next.
Video #1: My second home
Work is considered my second home, I have been involved in gymnastics since I was a child, and I have been a gymnastics coach since I was 12 years old. This is my 7th year of being a coach, and the coaches especially are counted as my second family.
Video #2: Hamish
I spend a lot of my time at home, and so does this little guy, he is respected as another family member in our household. He sleeps on our beds, eats with us, and watches TV with us. I’m home a lot with him and although he doesn’t understand, he brings such a sense of comfort and love, and yes I know I’m speaking about a dog here but that’s how it is.
Audio #1: Work
I love my job mostly because of the children I meet and get to work with. I have come across hundreds of children in my time as teaching and they never fail to make my day. Most people dread going to work, yet I go there knowing I’m going to leave in a great mood.
Audio #2: Family
This recording was of majority of family having a regular conversation in our lounge room. We speak loudly and argue quite a bit but it’s just the way us Blundos communicate with one another.
50 words to describe you:
I felt that the best way to have 50 words to describe myself would be to have my closest family members and friends pick around 5 words and send them to me. I am aware some words are repeated but I just copied and pasted what one would say. Some I can agree with, some are questionable, but nonetheless here they are:
“Breath taking, amazing, goddess, beautiful, charismatic, strong, loud, funny, Nice, friendly, creative, disorganised, messy, fast, flexible, sporty, childish, lazy, caring, funny, loving, loud, and full-on, funny, energetic, lively, friendly, caring, foot hater, sarcastic, smart, funny, loud, funny, outgoing, happy, beautiful, charismatic, ambitious, annoying, funny, outgoing, smart, fat, ugly, chat”.
