We had a workshop with Jane focusing on framing visual narrative. We were tasked to capture 10 images of objects that do not belong to us in/outside our homes and display them in some sort of cohesive progression. I pondered this brief for a few days not really knowing what subject matter I wanted to explore, but as I was walking around my house, I realized I owned almost nothing. The door and locks that keep strangers out belong to my landlord. The radiator that gives us warmth in the winter belongs to my landlord. The stairs that allow me to reach my bed belong to my landlord. Etcetera etcetera.
My images ended up being a sort of political commentary on how the majority of people do not even own the very things that keep them alive, instead others hoard these basic necessities and leech of of our income instead of doing any actual labor.
