1KM PROJECT

For this project, I decided to go on a “texture walk”. Walking for 1KM in various different environments and taking a quick picture every time the texture changed or adjusted. I ended up with 60 photos to chose from, and this is the collage I ended up with.

I chose to do this as my project because I wanted to challenge myself to really focus on my surroundings and notice all of the details within my environment. This is completely different from the concept of a KM.

I chose to do this for my project because I wanted to show the things we often miss. The textures on the sidewalk, the bright red cherries on the side of the road, the rebellious grafitti on buildings. I learned that there is so much beauty around us, but also so much rawness. By looking for textures, not just beauty, I was able to expand outside of simply nature pictures, looking into man-made designs and how they impact natural spaces.
