Project 8 – Collage of Key Memories

Here is the set up for the person and the buildings when I was preparing.

Here is the final outcome.

Here is an explanation behind the collage:

This piece is representative of the “Lights Out” initiative that happens every year. It’s basically just wanting buildings to turn off their lights once it gets dark so that migrating birds don’t hit the windows because they think they can just fly through. The birds can either die from the initial hit or the fall to either their death or a major injury. All the birds in the collage are actually migratory species that go through Ohio. The collage includes the migratory birds that make up the dress, a human figure that represents how it’s up to us help stop the window collisions, the buildings are all covered with graphite to show how the lights are off, the buildings are also made up of text blocks from newspapers that are upside down because the news rarely reports about Lights Out and its importance, and the sky is coated with charcoal to show that it’s night which is when turning the lights out is important.

This is important to me because I remember when I first learned about it and realized how much it wasn’t talked about and it changed what I wanted to do with my future. Before I had just wanted to study and work with birds, but after learning about “Lights Out” I decided I also wanted to help inform the general public about issues like this.
