The beginning of the designing process, thinking a lot about shape as this was a distinctive feature of vintage bags.
I took this photograph in my first week as an A Level Photography student. We were studying abstraction. I didn't particularly like any of the outcomes but did enjoy trying something new I guess. And some of them don't look particularly 'abstract' but I just think they're interesting.

The title of the piece in the images is PG: Playing God.
Artist Statement: Encased in a closely monitored environment, children lead a life padded with the safe assurances of parental choices. However, such care has the danger of morphing into an overbearing compulsiveness in ensuring a stable future for the child; what parents see as the profession of success could also be an embodiment of their own faded dreams, and hence they live vicariously through their children. Yet, the meticulous efforts in paving their youngsters' livelihood may not go as planned; the gulf of understanding between adult practicality and childish ignorance is indissoluble, and children, being immersed in innocence, fail to appreciate those preparations for the purposes they harbour.
