For this project we were tasked with creating a photo haiku and a free verse poem based on a concept statement. Once these were created, we needed to create a short animation that went with the free verse poem, as well as take a photo that went with our concept statement.
My Concept Statement: I am exploring the feeling of depression through the experience of standing up for myself.
Free Verse Poem:The Snake and the Prey
Within the crowds
I stand
On a summer day;
Alone as a red leaf
Amidst the vibrant green leaves
It’s a snake,
Silent as it moves in,
Poised to strike
The prey apart from the crowd.
Never noticed
Until it’s jaws are around the neck.
If it’s a snake,
Then I’m the prey.
Part of a community,
Though alone all the same
