My main focus throughout this project will be to create a new narrative from a topic or idea that already exists. I chose to go down this route because the thought of changing a persons mindset on an idea really interests me. We live in a world where people have such strong notions about what is right and wrong or how a person should live or see the world, I want to change the way they see a certain topic or process. I want to try and open their eyes to something they have not thought about or seen before because the only way to get people to broaden their minds is by showing them.
The reason I have chosen this route is because I believe that if you show an individual something they have not seen before they may become slightly more empathic to the cause and effects of a given topic. Take drugs for example, those who have never experienced addiction may look down at those who use but if you were to sit down and explain the reasons behind the addiction. Or if we look at the stigma around mental health, people are very quick to just assume that I person is lazy or unmotivated when in fact they could be going through something like depression or a serious anxiety disorder . Its easy to stay ignorant to something we do not see or understand. These are just examples and there are countless ways to change a person’s or a group of people’s way at looking at something. This is my main goal for this project.
