For my senior thesis project in the Design and Technology program of Parsons School of Design I would like to produce a multi-media installation called “Daughters” that tells the unique and fascinating history of mine and my wife’s multi-faith, multi-cultural, and multi-social sector marriage, which, with passion and determination has risen above all odds.
The project will use a combination of mixed mediums. Initial research has provided options of using: recent digital video and photos, old silent Hi-8 film reels, black and white vintage photographs, original immigration arrival cards, handwritten letters/stamps, stock footage of historical events, etc.
Because this family history is so unique and visually arresting, I have been working on it before entering Parsons School of Design and part time during the breaks between semesters. The initial portfolio I presented to get accepted to the university and the work I have been doing since has built on this same theme. I have sketched sample web pages, cut raw video footage, worked on a film trailer to experiment with narrative storytelling and typography, and done a variety of initial research interviews. It is a project that I believe has great social significance and that I am incredibly passionate about. Therefore, more than anything, I would like to spend my senior year developing it, executing it and bringing it to its conclusion.
