Artist Statement

This is my artist Statement for my fall quarter final assignment. Essentially my project focused on how others see the world from their own eyes and I tried to mimic this by first taking a picture of the person and then standing in their place and taking a picture of what they were looking out at. These pictures were accompanied by numbers which represented what number in the population they were when they were born by asking for their date of birth and transferring this data to the website listed below (unfortunately, these numbers that I had used previously have been lost when I transferred images from my old laptop).

The website is: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515

 

For example, my date of birth is the 8th of April in the year 1993.

When I was born, I was the 5,534,992,049th person alive on earth.

 

My pictures go in a sequence with those born earlier first followed by those born more recently. The first number was close to 3 billion while the last picture of the twins was closer to 7 billion.
