first presentation
After creating a presentation to present to the class and tutors, I collected some initial ideas and artistic references and I knew that what I wanted to achieve with this presentation was a conversation with the peers and tutors about what felt relatable to them and get some primary research.

After starting off by writing down words that were coming to my head when thinking of a topic, what I started to realise was that the sub-conscious experience I was referencing while thinking for inspiration was all the times that I've gotten dirty looks when using my disabled blue badge to park
During the first couple of weeks of this assignment, while I was feeling slightly stuck and blocked as to which direction I wanted to take, I wanted to step way from the words and try to create something artistic to help my blocked mind.

At the end of my presentation, I asked the class what (if anything) jumped out at them as interesting or engaging and then I also went back to 'Inspiration words...' (second slide) and asked people if they could select 1-3 words that they felt relatable to them to further my primary research but also aid me in finding more inspiration and focus.
After collecting everyone's answers I then made a Word Cloud with the data.
Once I had collated all of these elements and contextual ideas and references, I was slowly, slowly developing the idea of creating an installation that challenges society's judgements, expectations, differences and deceptions while also reminding people that we are one race, we live on one planet, we breathe the same air and we might need to learn how to appreciate and share kindness subconsciously.
