Title: Case #145
By: Chris John Lamontagne
"My project had to link to the word 'story' as my chosen theme. I came to the conclusion that one could say that in crime scene investigations, evidence boards are used to tell the story of an investigation through suspects, evidence and locations. And they give more detail to this by the added arrows and text explaining the connections. Therefore, I based my final piece upon this idea, thus what you see is an evidence board telling a story. I could go into depth with what the whole story is, but that would loose the excitement of the audience trying to piece together the puzzle."
Title: Alone
By: Anuka Enkhbold
"My inspiration for this project came mainly from two artists Sammy Baloji and Lise Sarfati. The vast space of emptiness is to mirror the way the subjects are feeling, lonely and empty. The subjects are dressed as they would be in the privacy of their own homes to increase the sense of vulnerability in the environments they are pictured in. This project focuses on issues one deals with themselves and of loneliness and depression as you can see through the subject's posture. I wanted to bring this issue out in the open and expose these emotions as it seems to be a little bit of a taboo in our society."
Title: Skin!
By: Cerise Ross
"This series of photos is about skin colour and different nationalities. It is to show the lengths people in our society would go to change who they are. I tried to make fun of the idea that a product could exist that changes people's skin colour. To achieve this I invented a brand name and product concept and had people of different skin colours and nationalities modelling as they might for an actual beauty product."
