” City is artificial creation. It is not meant to benefit people, it is supposed to benefit system”
Sephora Pietrzak
In yesterday’s class with Dawn Scarfe, we talked about our ideas for portfolios. We were suggested that its better if our research project and portfolio were connected, which made me worry as my idea for the portfolio is quite opposite to what I started creating for my audio paper last academic year. After thorough thinking, I have decided to perceive my initial idea, as It has a personal grasp to it. My idea will be about my journey in the UK that lasted for the past 4 years. I was always this person who spoke when others were afraid and said things others didn’t want to hear. It is my rebellious personality. I don’t know if my experience was actually that different from everyone else others don’t want to admit it, or simply London attracts specific kinds of personalities. These 4 years were the loneliest years of my entire life. It is not supposed to be an act of anger against London, it could be any big city with loads of people, and I would have the same experience. I don’t regret coming to the UK I started to understand myself and living on my own taught me a lot about my personality traits. My very first piece in UAL was about my thoughts on London just after I moved in and it would be really meaningful to me if my last piece in UAL, and the last before moving back to Poland was about my thoughts on London 4 years later.
