Creative Media Studio 1: Integrated Studio Project (Research pt. 1)

The theme of this project is "How to do things with (Cross Media) Art?"

Inspiration:

I didn't want to force out a topic from me considering I didn't have an idea on what to make. That's why, for a month or so, I went on a visual buffet which includes going on Tumblr to look at numerous  images, watched a couple movies and observed my surroundings especially people. I wanted my mind to relax and let myself absorb whatever I saw so that it could spark an idea for me. Then it happened.

..was his first love,  Jenny Curran. A very charming girl but paired with a troubled past. Her issue about being sexually abused by her father was highlighted softly in the movie, easily making the audience shift their attention away from it. However, her journey through it touched my heart and gave me an idea to pursue my Integrated Studio Project. Thus my idea for it is...

"How to heal with (Cross Media) Art?"

Project proposal:

The concept for my idea is to make an artwork with the aim of helping sexual abuse victims reinforce their confidence and hope to forgive and free themselves from hatred and depression in order to live a healthier and more peaceful life.  In return, this project will also help me explore the process of healing and gain a better understanding of it.
