I have been interested in the collage. Three dimensional space can create uncomfortableness by arranging different images in paradoxical ways. The blending of the social norm with my young over active imagination illustrates the paradox through a lack of manner or social etiquette. Being lost in the maze is inspirational. Exiting the maze, one needs a tool to remember how they got in the maze. Being confused, scared, and dealing with contradiction the viewer’s imagination allows them to put together components that help them through their adventure.

I would question about why an apple is here and what it is for.15 pagesen-USThe author has granted Alfred University a limited, non-exclusive right to make this publication available to the public.
