This was my original appropriation idea. I’m very passionate about spreading awareness of mental illness as I have a personal connection to this. I used my brothers brain scan and blended this on top of a photo of a hot air balloon. I originally thought about combining it with a picture of a globe, which would show spreading awareness around the world. However this wasn’t successful as it wasn’t clear and it didn’t look like an appropriation piece. By using a hot air balloon in an existing environment this creates more of a finished photograph. As it is the only thing in the photograph it also represents the loneliness element of mental illness, the drifting and the isolation. However after our feedback session, unless I explained the photo people didn’t see what I meant by it. It didn’t convey a clear enough message so I didn’t think I would continue this throughout my appropriation project.
