After two days of photography, I realised I needed a change of purpose. Along with my flatmate, Luki, we cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom on Saturday 28 March. As a welcome distraction from doom and gloom, this also gave us the opportunity to go through all the items in the room. It was very cathartic to gauge the state of and usefulness of the contents. Pots, pans, jars, and vases were moved and cleaned.
After this clearance, I was left with a selection of glass pieces that I lined up in the hallway. While looking at them, I thought they may make possible subjects for photographing. I had used many household objects and items in my proximity for previous projects, so it seemed prudent to do the same with these.
Another object I had to hand was this coffee pot.
I had used this as a prop in a previous project and I thought it may be used as an individual photographic subject, in combination with the glass vessels or as a light bouncer.
While thinking of what I could do with these items, I noticed other potential subjects on a shelf in the living room. These five items are from places I have visited and evoke very strong and significant memories.
At this particular time, I had no idea as to whether I could visit them again, which brought up a lot of thoughts and feelings. Something to explore further.
