The sketchbook in the corner is what I began using to write a couple words or sentences a day about anything I think about or see that day. It began in quarantine as a way of distinguishing each similar day from the next. I also enjoy the childishly lighthearted duck duck goose imagery.
The pink Sony CyberShot camera is from years ago and I would always use it to take pictures or make movies in middle school. When packing my bedroom up for yet another move I rediscovered this camera and thought it would be a fun way to capture and document my final semester at Lehigh.
The ring on top of the camera is my silver high school graduation ring and I have worn it everyday since 2017. Inside my initials are engraved and on the front is a Laurel leaf representing my all girl school.
The Life magazine I have framed and keep on display in my room is from October 1998, the month and year I was born. I liked being able to read what was happening in the world from that year to remind myself of how much our world can change but also remain the same.
I chose to include a plastic margarita glass with a unique fish stem. I found it at Goodwill in the Bethlehem area. When I am stressed I like to explore flea markets and thrift shops because you never know what sort of cool items you might stumble upon. I also love margaritas!
The lavender honey at the bottom was a gift from someone important to me. I enjoy when things come in mini sizes and my nightly routine usually includes a cup of tea with honey before bed. Tea and honey is what my mom always suggests to heal any winter cold I might have as well.
The detail I like the most in your assemblage is how you flipped the notebook to the back. The inclusion of the barcode saying “Duck Duck Goose” is fun and I think it brings the whole assemblage together and it might have looked weird if you kept it right side up.
Nice color scheme, I think off setting the honey bottle and different cropping to highlight the reflection would have made a difference.
