Final Project Proposal – Jesse Wallace

For my final project, I decided to pursue an experimental and reflective piece as a way of collecting my thoughts as this absolutely wild year comes to a close. I typically take a few days around this time of year to reflect on my highs and lows, and this project will be an extension of that.

I want to put personal weavings that allow me to reflect in each box. Each shadow box will represent a certain time in my life, and I will add to each weaving by including physical objects from those times(Ribbon from my robotics competitions, plane tickets, rocks, jewelry, etc.) to create the final piece. Together, the shadow boxes will tell a representative story that I can use to express myself. Finally, a big part of the magic will be in creating each weaving as I use my time to put energy and passion into each reflective weaving.
