After reading the books my tutors mentioned to me in my meetings, I decided to focus more on the relationship between the archive image as a picture as well as an object, and my relationship with the rooms at home, and the surrounding space.
Consequently- I searched for images that I thought would be interesting to reproduce, to show the passage of time and the differences with how my life once was when I was younger, to what it is currently. For example, Image 5 contains an archive photograph that contains life and activity, with the posters placed on the wall and other memorabilia; contrast that with the modern picture that is stark, muted, and in the end melancholic, with only a dressing gown to suggest human life. However, the evidence of hands in the archive image suggests trying to be noticed, but failing, thus blurring my memories of my younger life being better than it is currently.

Overall I am happy with how this shoot went, as it conveyed my current intentions which will help develop the project. Next time I will gather all the work I've done and see what new connections I can make, to see where I can go from here. I may also compose new shoots that feature other found objects in my attic, or that expand upon the relationship with my surroundings.
