Final Deconstruction Video



My deconstruction video is based on the idea of paradise. I wanted to deconstruct the literal meaning of paradise and give it a new meaning that is still relevant to the word.

Paradise can be found in many different things, not just the palm trees and the ocean.

Being a college student is by far the most challenging thing I have ever been and it can be really hard to find the light in a lot of the things that we go through. But always staying positive and not letting things get to you is the key in being successful not only in college, but in life as well.  I really enjoyed doing this project. Although it was quite the struggle for me to get my hands on a working scanner, I ended up making so many copies of different positions of my hands and forearms. I knew the idea of what I wanted to make, but had no clue what it would really look like while I was scanning myself. Only when I cut everything out and laid it all out on the floor di
