My book is a wooden covered book,
bound in the traditional or earlier european style. The cover is wooden
with metal inlay and has a leather binding. The book has no title, but if
i were to give it one it would be "Hero". The book itself deals with the
hero through the ages and also the true facelessness I feel a hero should
have. The mask print and metal casting, hide the hero from reconition even
in the pictures that were actual people. The drawings themselves were done
in brown ink.
This is a book about memories:
events in my life that have made
a lasting impression on me, and have influenced my life in some way. Not
only by reading my book do you get a close look into my life, but you
also get to know me as a person. The assortment of these "stories" of my
life have added to my personality and has shaped me into the person I am
today. This idea relates to the puzzle I placed in the center of the book.
Each piece is unique and interesting on its own, but it also fits together
with the other pieces to make a whole. On one side of the puzzle, I have
a collage of images of me while I was growing up, and on the other side,
an image of me now. One piece is missing, to symbolize that my life is not
complete. I still have a lot of living left to do; many more stories
will be added and the person that I become will be effected by these
events.
