The Plastic Eye, Noura Elsabagh, 2020
My creative process is based on what is going on around me. On days that I’m stressed, I come home from school, grab a pencil and paper and simply sketch ideas that have been rumbling inside my head until my mind clears. While sketching these ideas I focus on the sound of my pencil gliding against the paper, and the pressure I use to get deeper or lighter values.
This is how my idea for the Flash forward incubator was formed. My work is based on how contained my head is for most of the day, until I can finally open it up to some incredible ideas. The bottle represents restriction and containment but the falls represents natural flowing ideas. What I’d like people to come away with is to explore what makes your head clear up and relax, in order to focus on the one thing you’re trying to achieve.
