This really didn’t go as well as I was hoping though the meaning and it really shows the point behind the image of a soldiers kit and the many holes that I drilled into the wood displaying the scars and wounds that many men face when coming back from war inflect in their everyday lives and that’s really what I wanted to portray to the viewer.
Creating the holes with the drill was quite difficult but also really fun I had to remind myself not to drill to close together for fear of snapping the wood but this was my first time experimenting in drilling through wood, I believe the holes was just to big and nest time I could improve this by maybe drilling with a smaller screw.
I don’t really like the background but I like that it shows kind of a random pattern and in way it shows a war field and matches with the story and image itself but the image is not clearly visible and therefore makes the image a little messy and somewhat ugly but I loved exploring something which I have never done before and hope to explore more in the future.
