Final Project Artist Statement
For the theme of my project I decided I would focus on the absence of our city during this pandemic. To show the city when no one was inflicting it. To not much surprise when I stepped out, there was lots of traffic, and people in every community out and about. However, with such a very busy city, it was quite amazing to see the livelihood of Chicago without half of the population roaming around. I did get to capture a lot of individuals doing their own thing along the Logan Boulevard. The reason I chose strangers as my topic is because I wanted to capture as close as I could to the raw representation of how individuals are participating in the act of social distancing and staying at home, all while being outside.
I tried my best to focus primarily on using blur and framing because I feel that the two are very contrasting and thought that it would be unique to combine them. I say they are contrasting because framing puts something into focus, no matter how large or how small they are. In my series of photos I documented art, emptiness of space around the city, trash from the pandemic, space between people, and different textures.

Digital Photography
In Susan Sontag's essay, In Plato's Cave, she writes about the meaning of the work of photography. In the text it states, “the work that photographers do is no generic exception to the usually shady commerce between art and truth”. To me this can be interpreted as there is no photography that was done imperfectly, no matter the balance of light or the angle of projection, and the capture of a memory can either be artistic, or used to tell a story that one might not believe, which is the truth. The truth is not up for interpretation, but strictly what it must be.
A lot of artists' work is taken for granted, and sometimes artists do that themselves. Our harshest critic is our own selves, and without understanding the value of the work we capture, it would be hard to continue succeeding. Pictures capture the raw truth that could never be denied based on what the image withholds. The only thing that can alter the images truth is the artist itself since it is their truth.
My question is if there is any way that pictures can deceive, and not be telling the entire truth? Obviously things can deceive you, but is there a way that showing pictures are simply just not what it is meant to be at all? Is everything considered art once its photo is taken since photography is an art form? For example you see a picture of a shadow, depending of how it is projected, it can be one thing or it can be another.
