Part 1: Revisit Your Core Question

For my project, I want to focus on a feeling of disconnect from cultural heritage from a less literal perspective. I want my main idea to be the feeling of this disconnect in childhood and how, even though the feeling of heritage and connection is gone, the heritage still remains. I am examining this idea through a video and audio format with home videos, and I want to experiment the most with layering my acquired materials in a way that helps my main idea.

Part 2: Context and References

For my topic and conceptual direction, I found both poetry and a curated art show based on the concepts and experiences of "No Sabo" kids. For the poetry, I found a specific poem titled No Sabo that touches on the main ideas I related to and wanted to convey through my project.

The main thing in this poem that connects to my project is that, despite a lack of cultural connection, one still remains through heritage and blood. Through my use of visuals and audio, I want to convey a feeling of innocence and nostalgia through the lack of connection I felt as a child.

For my second example, I found a curated art exhibit focusing on the experience of growing up No Sabo as it showcases multiple artists' depictions of how it shaped them.

This exhibit was really inspiring and really stuck with me. It helped me focus a bit more on how I wanted the viewer to feel when watching my project.

Part 3: How the Medium Shapes the Idea

My media is the preferred format for my project and materials, as I'm using home videos. The nostalgia and feeling of home videos are best preserved by not changing their format, and I believe it amplifies the feeling I want to convey to the viewer. Because my materials are already in a video and audio format, I believe there is no contradiction, and it in fact works better this way.

Part 4: Clarifying Intent

I smell a masterpiece in the making.

Also, good luck, take your time, take breaks when needed, and drink water. I've read your work, and you're a great writer, and I'm sure you'll do great. Hope you have a good day or night cause I don't know what time zone you're in. Anyways I wish you the best. Know that people care for you.

AAAEEEEE!! *finger guns* A mere standard or masterpiece, we'll have to wait and see I guess lol. But I appreciate the boost of confidence - I'm aiming high with this project.

thank you very much for submitting this lovely message!

I try to solve the problem among my working colleagues. They feel isolated from the company when they work at home. They feel they are not connected with the company. Or they just think it is a money relationship with the company.

so I try to build an emotional relationship between the employee and the company. Surely the company only wants profits from the employees. But as a manager or an event organizer, it is possible to build a relationship.

I think it is more like a present given to you when you first join the company, like a notification from the university before you enter college. Since we deliver the computer after the onboarding, so the preset can be sent along.

I would like to call my project a black box, since I have no idea what kind thing I want to make. But it can be a bridge between the employee and the company.
