About for you

This project is an audio poem and an interactive map that represents my relationship with my father and how he inspires me to keep going when I feel like giving up. Although my father passed away i still believe that he is with me guiding the way. The interactive map shows the good times and memories that will never be forgotten. I believe that this piece is my best work of the year because it came from the heart and I was inspired to expresses how I feel about myself and how I portray my father.

Process​

When writing my poem I wrote what came to mind which included my insecurities. Then I tried to balance out the bad with the good by including my father who helped me to look past my self doubts. When adding the music I decided to make the background noise peaceful so that it would flow more easily to my poem. My interactive map was inspired by my mentor and I think that showing my most memorable places with my father made my poem more realistic and it made it easier to show how much of a positive impact he had on me.

The time you felt the most powerful

The time I felt most powerful was when I wrote a poem about a girl who had been taken advantage of her whole life. I felt powerful because I was able to write about real life events that a lot people are not willing to talk about. One thing I know that as women we have all experienced is inequality, and because I can relate to that I feel like I was able to execute my poem so that someone who has been through that hardship can relate to it and maybe get the courage to speak about it.
