For this task we were asked to photograph objects that best describes who we are. I personally like to surround myself with art and music. As someone who studied music in the past I find it to be a big inspiration to me as a musician and also when it comes to also being a painter. Joni Mitchell is my muse when it comes to all things art and music, hearing my first Joni Mitchell at the early age of 10 I instantly fell in love, her vocal range and lyrics drew me in and her albums were such a safety blanket for a lot of highs and lows of my life. Following that is an old Francoise Hardy record that I found a couple of years ago in my grandparents attic, I’ve had this record since I was 16 and have always kept it with me. I really love the sound of the french language in music and especially Francoise as her voice is so angelic.

Other things I have included in my photos are my book called ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I pride myself on being a feminist and this book is a very good read for someone who understands the feminist movement and for people who don’t. It’s a short book on  how women’s rights are still a problem and that the only thing that feminism is is equality for all.
I placed a plant in these images as I am also a crazy plant lady. Constantly adding to my collection my house is turning into a jungle. I like the idea of taking care of something and watching it start out small and grow into something big and beautiful.

I have also included crystals and a moon earring. I like to think I have a relationship with the moon, I have taken part in moon circles and meditations a couple of times through out the years and have kept track of moon cycles and how the moon effects us all, also with my crystals I like the idea that they bring positivity but also they are just so satisfying to look at.

and last is my paint brush of course, I have been painting for years now and I find it to be a great way to express how I feel through colour. I like to relate to my emotions with colour so when I’m creating a piece with acrylic paint I tend to use that method. I really liked this task as I feel it has made me dig a little deeper into who I am and also force me to talk about the things that I love and why they make me happy to be alive.
