So we've basically been given time to explore our ideas further. I took some more photographs of wine and reflections in it, playing with different materials and locations. I like the idea of layering in a single surface. Before, I worked with sculptural forms that actually created layers of visual material whereas now I'm working on a single surface.  On the left is a  picture I took when I was in Pompeii. I was staring at my reflection in front of the casts they made of the deceased after the volcanic explosion, and I liked the idea of seeing myself present within the context of what was in front of me and also behind me. On the right is me playing with this concept. I'm holding a lighter that somehow actually burned through the metal casing right after I took this picture and burnt my hand.. :/
