I sent my final designs boards to D&AD this week with this description -The word ‘Resistance’ initially says to me blocking off, putting up a barrier, fighting against and refusal.
Having just completed my Final Major Project on the ‘Subconscious Mind’ I researched into ways we think and our automatic behaviours.
This lead me to the act of resisting thoughts, in particular how the conscious mind resists thoughts that the subconscious mind cannot.
I started this project with an experimental photo-shoot illustrating ‘Resistance’. The aim was to demonstrate the idea of blocking out/resisting/containing/refusing thoughts, behaviours and emotions.
Using a mirror as a prop, combined with disruptive movement I wanted to enhance this idea by reflecting and bouncing back thoughts.
The images include a variety of geometric shapes and go further to represent the idea of containing and blocking off thoughts in the simplest of forms.
