Exploration Question: What did the world look/feel like as a kid?
Work Plan
AJ Volkov
Experiment One
caterpillars and dandelions (2026)
Does this piece match your intended aesthetics?
It looks a bit different from my original plan, but keeps the same themes. I wanted to take all the photos for the scrapbook myself, and treat it as a present day reflection rather than being from the perspective of a child, but I feel like this version works better.
Does this piece work the way you intended?
I feel like it works, it answers the question of what it felt like to be a child and evokes that nostalgic sense.
Experiment Two
Does this piece match your intended aesthetics?
This piece looks way different from my intentions in the beginning, since I was originally planning to take most of the pictures in familiar locations, but here it turned a collage with most images sourced online. The idea of changed perception stayed the same.
Does this piece work the way you intended?
I think it does, especially in relation to my first piece and the contrast. The first work was my childhood perception and this one is my current perception.
