reflection
fleeting space Unlike what I have been always doing before, this project heavily involves the process of handmaking as well as video documentation, the two main components which I am the weakest at, but I am glad that I was able to step out of my comfort zone and produce something amazing that I have never thought that I ever could. Initially, to be honest, I had this crazy idea of using the component of glow or neon under the very dark sky for my installation. I even struggled a lot to find a closed site on campus that restricts any external source of sunlight coming in for me to execute this concept. However, sooner I learnt that I need to adapt and rethink how I could still merge what was given and readily available at the site with my interest of colored light phenomena, rather than forcing a certain concept and trying so hard to make it happen. All in all, it was not an easy task to both understand and nail it at least decently, but the final outcome was absolutely regarding and I am really pleased with it, especially the color effect was so beautiful that I did not need any filter for my images. My only wish of improvement for myself is the ability to photograph and film my installation as captivating and immersive as possible since my final video and photogtaphs were documented in somehow ‘weird’ angles with noises around and somewhat low quality. Also, I wish I could have more time so I could have done more experiments as there might be some other more cooler stuffs that I have not had chances to experiment yet. Besides, since my installation involves the excitement of different colors, I also wish there would be more colors variety in the mirror papers at where I bought those materials from so I could mix and play with different color combinations rather than a pure rainbow order.
