Masks

We made masks in my Integrated Arts class. 









This process made me feel very Diving Bell and the Butterfly-esque.





I love GLiTTER!

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

I haven't posted on here much recently, mostly because I've been so busy with school.

I watched a movie in my Transpersonal class called The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
It's the true story of a man named Jean-Dominique Bauby who was the editor of french Vogue. He had a stroke and suffered from what is called locked-in-syndrome, where he was completely conscious, but stuck in his body. He could not communicate with the outside world, however, a speech therapist devised a system with him where he would blink his left eyelid depending on what letter he wanted to use. They ended up writing an entire book this way. This is the best film I've seen in a long time.
