Project Statement

This project communicates deep space and depth through storytelling. I want to create deep space not only by composition, but also imagination space for audience. So, I chose a story that almost everyone knows, the little red riding hood, to illustrate my ideas. My compositions allow the viewer to observe and enjoy the story from the perspective of a spectator. I intentionally twisted the story plot a little bit in order to have more possibilities of the story. I also used different gray scale cardstock in certain order to have layered effect.

Reflection

I should experiment more with the distance between each layer, because it may potentially increase the sense of depth. I didn’t make plan to make the outer box, instead, I decided to make it after I connected each layer. As a result, there are some defects: it is unstable and has open edges.
