Context: Preformative activism in a modern setting
Concept: Calling attention to hypocrisy and missteps we have taken with activism in the modern age as it has become a trendy through themes hyper commercialization (akin to the toy product ads from the 80s).
The figure is still being made/painted and there will be an added video advertisement that has not been filmed yet but will be done this weekend.

For my journal, I chose to do it analog. I originally was going to do it through Tumblr, but then chose to do it by hand when I saw an interview about an artist named Leon Sadler. The interview was conducted on a sheet of paper where Leon would briefly answer the questions and doodle around it. Since there were no divisions between the questions, Some answers or drawings would spill over to the next section. I wanted to do mine like this because the phrase “it feels like the days blend together” has often been said by me and many others in my life since quarantine began. The more jumbled aesthetic of it would allow me to portray that phrase, as well allowing me to be creating writing and imagery that serves as a better visualization of my head space. It mainly consists of whatever comes to mind at the end of the day.
