The piece Peregrinate pertains to being authentically you, at all times, in all places and in all forms. The vastly different cultures, time frames and light/dark depicted are all a play on making harmony out of dissonance. I have to admit that while trying to work in the guidelines there were a few failed attempts before the final product but like all good things, it is about the journey. Playing with different forms of digital (photo, Morse code) along with other techniques and adjectives laid out allowed me to grow, in fact pushed me to grow. One of the hardest parts of this process was not disclosing and discussing with others though, we humans are such social creatures. Be sure to see if you can get the Morse code message and check it out in the dark. Enjoy!
