D. Which artist/installation did I find most interesting?
The most interesting one to me was Richard Wilson’s 20:50. It is a very interesting looking piece and I would like to walk through and explore the piece

From the material reviewed, Thomas Hirschhorn’s is the one who I have a connection with because my piece is very similar to the installation that I made.
The Theme that I will explore in my piece is a Representation piece. Every where I go, I make sure I represent my origins and let it be known that I am proud of both countries that I am from. Also the fact that my brother is with me every where I go.

The materials I used are a backpack, flags to represent where I hail from, a pin with my brother's face on it and the logo that I support, which is my friend's clothing line.

The installation will be located in my closet. My closet is filled with clothes, shoes and bags. The backpack was on a hook to show that I use it on a daily basis.

A Military black backpack, surrounded by clothes, shoes, scarfs, etc. The backpack has 3 pockets, one in the front and on both sides. One one side is the Jamaican flag, on the other is the Hondurain flag, and on the front is a pin that I got from my brother's 5th anniversary party. It was to celebrate his death but every time I carry the pin with me I know that he is always with me.
