Reflective Folio

Overall my favorite responses that I did are: Jabberwocky, Hero and Story. I believe that they are the strongest images that I captured.

Hero-

I wanted this photo as my final piece as I believe it has the strongest story behind it. It is a picture of my grandmother who is my hero.
I have chosen to present this photograph in a locket. At first i thought it would need to be a big locket so everyone could see the image but after talking to Silvia it made sense to make it a small locket as it seems more intimate.
I didn't want the photo to be in a plain locket, I wanted a beautiful locket that complimented the photo. I have placed the locket on a piece of satin to try and portray how precious it is. By putting in a Pandora box, I was hoping to try and make it look as though it is something very special that you would buy in an expensive jewelry store.

Grief

Loneliness
of the soul.
Tears well
from the gut.

Drip
into streams
rivers of blood.

Story

Ninna Nanna Bel Bambino:

Ninna nanna bel bambino
fai la ninna fai la nanna
tra le braccia della mamma:
dormi dormi mio tesoro,
dormi dormi piccolo d'oro.

This is an Italian nursery rhyme. I chose this as my story because one of the youngest memories I have is of my nonna singing me to sleep with this.

Breakeven- The Script


Lyrics:

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't breakeven, no

What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)

Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
