Meditation: A Junior Design Student Conceptual Project by Brooke Bettinger (2017)

I am exploring the feeling of defensiveness through meditation.

In my photo, I used leaves, a painted knight’s helmet, and sheet music to show my concept. The focal point of the image is the helmet, which is covered in paint, a symbol of creativity and a meditative activity, to show defensiveness and meditation through one object. The paint is green, blue, and purple. Green is a peaceful color that evokes images of nature. Nature is calming and a symbol of meditation. Blue and purple are also peaceful colors. These colors together are calming. The helmet is on top of a piece of music called “Rest.” I wanted the sheet music to match the theme of meditation from the fact that it is music, and from the subject of the song itself: peace and rest. The leaves around the helmet show nature, which is symbolic of meditation. The leaves are green, a peaceful color.

My photo shows defensiveness through meditation from the combination of the helmet with symbols of creativity and relaxation. A helmet, meant to defend and protect a person, is painted in serene colors to show meditation and calmness. The combination of the sheet music and the knight’s helmet shows peace and defensiveness at once.
