An altered book using wire binding and featuring silver gelatin prints (from my series 'Industrial Pictorialism') dry-mounted onto Reeves paper.
The reason why I chose this object is because I got it as a souvenir from the Philippines. Whenever I wear this bracelet, I would always think and feel that I'm at home and remember the child hood memories that I had when I was little. When I was little I didn't have any problems to face and I had a lot of freedom those times and was thankful of everything that I had even though my mom was't there and she was working in another country. Whenever I had this bracelet on, I would always think of home where the air is clear and just fresh, I would see a lot of green trees, a lot of animals and a lot of plants. Even though I'm not at home I still feel that it would be nice to be at home even though I'm away from my original home. I got this as a souvenir from my homeland because I wanted to remember the times where I enjoyed the things that I did while I was still there with my family.
I chose to take the picture this way because I wanted to express the lightness and the darkness of this object. I wanted to put it is as high key because I wanted everything in the background to be light and that it remembers me of home and that everything is fresh and easy to breathe in the good air. Where I'm at in Canada I live in a city where its full of cars and buildings that are releasing bad air such as pollution. I'm that type of person who likes nature and enjoys nature. I wanted to shoot it in way because I wanted to only show the gems in the front because that's the only place where a viewer would wanna see and I wanted to show how this bracelet represents the purity which is also the background that shows the light of its side. The white gems represents the purity and the lightness and the blue gem represents the fresh air that we breathe in and also this bracelet represents love and freedom from my childhood memories where I was free and I had no problems to face when I was little but now a day we live in a world where we have a lot problems and the time where we start growing up and more problems to come.
