I am a final year fine art student who enjoys using a variety of mediums to explore creativity and narratives. I have been fascinated with communication and storytelling from a young age, and over the past couple of years I have looked at how to explore this through the fine art process and how we can create an inner monologue for ourselves or a real-life situation through still image, video, and audio. I like to try to push the mediums I use as far as I can and explore new methods in innovative ways. My project is exploring the narrative of progression and if change truly happens after the fact. We claim to have progressed over time, but is our progression limited, are some situations a case of instinct? I decided to explore the lack of development within humanity, by showcasing two case studies, one from 1940 and one from now, to show how little has truly changed.
