One: A Junior Design Student Conceptual Project by Marina Sigunova (2017)

I am exploring the feeling of excitement through the experience of walking alone.

The photograph showcases a book with a wood texture on the cover and a cartoony boat design on the front. It is laying on the ground which has a varied texture and it has a large blue paint splotch on it. It is outside in slightly dim natural light. The book is closed.

The book is a representation of the solitary spending of time, “walking alone” if you will. The symbol of a boat on the cover represents an inner journey while the paint splotch stands for creativity that can flourish while the person is alone. It is also dripping in a pattern that could suggest bleeding referring to the difficulties one faces while alone revealing the duality of such time. All of this is completely isolated from the background further showcasing isolation.
