SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT

I have recreated a 5 day trip I took to San Francisco in January of this year. What you see are each of the five days. I used 3D rendering in Blender to create these works. In each of the models I took inspiration from my travel journal to recreate the themes and objects into self-sufficient, abstracted forms.

Day 1: Coit tower, the Chinatown gate, Lombard Street, the Wharf, and Ghirardelli Square.

Day 2: The Mission, Financial District, Castro District, and First Friday in Oakland.

Day 3: the 16th Ave Tiled Steps, Overlook Park, Ocean Beach, pizza, The Golden Gate Bridge, and the Palace of Fine Arts.

Day 4: the MoMA, Haight + Ashbury, various downtown views. 

Day 5: travel from SFO to PDX.

​

This project at its core is a projection for my desire to travel and see the world. It also is a projection of my inclination to connect with people. I believe that our most basic instincts to talk and share our story with others shows through in my intention for this project.

​

The concept of this project is to represent a first hand experience by using visual souvenirs to create a set of pieces that can be used to display the trip itself, and the feeling of being in the place you visited. I took visual souvenirs from the trip that shaped my view of San Francisco, and attempted to create them in a way that shows how I felt while wandering around the city.
