My avatar and bio
The avatar that I have chosen is an image that was made by myself. It is a character that I created and drew. I felt that the character represented myself. The image shows a person walking up a staircase. Although it may be hard to tell because the image had to be cropped for the upload, you may be able to see that the person is coming from an area that is surrounded by flames but is ascending to a better place. The person is not perfect, which is why there is a Devil on the left and an angel on the right side of his head. These are representative of the thoughts that he has. The image is supposed to represent progression and elevation. It may look strange but the number 47 is located on the person’s bag. It is intended to represent the 4th primary chakra the heart, and the 7th primary chakra the crown. It is a representation of balance , as 4 is an even number and 7 is an odd number. The image is inspired by the ideas and concepts of the late rapper Capital steez. Capital steez was someone that always was focused on the progression of people and being better than what one was before . I am passionate about concepts like these. I am also very passionate about music. The image that I created was inspired an artist.

Field trip to cooper Hewitt
What I liked about the portal soundscape was that it really felt authentic. It was as if I was standing there in the real area . I feel like most classmates may have missed this exhibit because it seemed inconspicuous in comparison to most of the other exhibits.
I liked the feather fountain. exhibit because it was very noticeable. It looked as if the air was juggling the feathers. Anyone was able to grasp the feather out of the air as it was floating.
Urban Artifacts:Phase 1
In places like New York many items can be found lying on the ground. Any and everything can be seen by simply taking a walk. People may be on there way to work but decide to stop at Wendy’s for breakfast. However the order may be taking too long. As the person rushes to finish the food he drops his napkins, cup, and throws the bag that it came in into grass.
There are three ambiguous and three stable images. The ambiguous images have things in the background that draw attention to it. For example, ambiguous image has a shot of the ground and grass in it to distract the viewer from paying attention to the bag only.
