STATEMENT

 I hate laundry. Correction, I hate doing laundry. Laundry has always been my worst enemy whenever it comes to productivity. Even in my younger days, I would cry and claim I was Cinderella whenever doing laundry. Why not make something I have a hatred for into something beautiful? My project is a gallery of close ups of laundry piles I've made throughout the week. I only do laundry on my off days, so my laundry really does pile up after some time. I decided to use dirty laundry as my final project because of the textures and details of the laundry. What is that? Is that a belt? No, it's a corset. What is that label "Broken Promises"? It's a bathing suit bottom with a brand on it. Every single photograph consists of new textures and details to look at, it's just a guessing game on what these clothing pieces are. From my critique, • I was told that some photographs are less strong than others. Using my own judgment, I took a guess on what could be weaker than others. I put a small and faint overlay that appears to look like dust on the camera to give the photographs that "dirty" look. I'm still unsure which images could've been considered better though. The idea for this final project is to follow the idea of photo manipulation covered in our class course. The textures are a deception of what the reality of the image could be. What you may see could be a T-Shirt, but it's a glove, and vice versa. The audience truly doesn't know what clothing pieces are taking place in these photographs.
