For this project I originally wanted to capture the sleep cycle. I decided to make it more personal by taking a look at my insomnia and through this project I'll try to capture the essence of the disorder. I took a lot of pictures of my room, bed and sheets because when I can't sleep that's where I typically spend my time. I took a couple photos of my journal, but I think I'd ultimately like to scan in better quality versions of those, vector them, and overlay them onto my final image. I also played around with motion blur because when you're exhausted but can't sleep every hour begins to melt together and become indistinguishable. I'd like that blur of time to be my concept for the final image. I think this fits for the cyclical nature of things because insomnia isn't just a one night thing, it's frequent and you start to build a nightly routine around it.
