This project gave me problems because it forced me to work backwards from how I usually operate. Usually, I prefer to allow myself to create images in my work that I am emotionally or instinctively drawn towards, and then decipher out what I was trying to communicate after the piece has been completed. In this piece, I had to come up with a solid, researched idea that i could morally and emotionally stand behind before I even began the visual aspects of the work, which placed me way out of my comfort zone. However, I did enjoy doing the research once I had decided on my angle, and tracing the gun to create the "mask" of a toy was not too terribly hard, which was a relief since I struggled so hard at the beginning of the assignment conceptually.
