For this project, I intend for my environment to represent a chaotic mind, with no clear focus on one singular subject. To represent my lack of focus in my life, I hope to show that I can not tackle this sort of mind-wandering. The art gallery environment, that will represent the multiple aspects that I lose focus thinking about, will be representational of current art ambitions, family issues, a drive towards certain people; whatever seemingly distracts me. My identity will be represented as a lost figure, wearing the same clothes, in a space that I can not escape. I have learned how to cope with my lack of focus over the years, but I still have a long way to travel. In the past (and currently, in some regards), I have had to work intensively at my schoolwork in order to achieve good grades. I am bothered that I have to spend an insane amount of time to memorize one Mesopotamian artwork, so that frustration will be represented in this piece.
Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.
