When I was just a little kid, I had a diary. I wrote down what happened and how I felt on a particular day. Sometime I kept secrets in the diary and didn't want anyone to know about it. As a silly innocent child, I was so worry about my mum would find out the diary and read my words! At that time, I couldn't think of drawing pictures to express my feelings instead of writing exactly what happened. What I want to say is people in this generation not only use text to convey massages, but also use various kinds of media to do so. I used to keep a diray to record my daily life whan I was small. However, now I start up a blog on the internet to share my life to my dear friends. I can also share videos, songs and pictures with them. Sometimes text can not help me to depict my life and feelings at all, then I would use pictures to express my happiness or outrage. Pictures, are powerful.
Inspired bt the lecture, I remembered I have played a meaningful card game before. Before I introduce this to you, let me ask you a question.
Which of the following photos can represent your life at this moment?
Is it difficult for you?You may think of lots of different stuff when you look at these pictures, or you may get nothing from them. Actually these are the photos extracted from a tool called "SOULARIUM"
Those few quetions include...
Which photo can represent your life at this moment?
Which photo can represent your dream or ideal life?
Which photo would you use to describe GOD in your view?
I think SOULARIUM is a very intriguing tool that opan up a conversation. We all have different minds and experience. Therefore we can have different explaination to different photos. I may feel sad about a photo of a hand holding a little bird, but the other may feel happy for it! A photo can have various interpretations. There is no modal answer.The question is not what you look at, but what you see. These photos help people who don't know how to express themselves and they can guide them to think more. SOILARIUM can lead us to get to know more about others and even ourselves. It's interesting that we may have two opposite interpretation to the same photo at different point of our lives.
When I first look at these photos, I feel excited that I really can associate with things that I never think about.
Actually I own a set of it and I like to share these photos with my friends in order to know them better! If you want to go throught a journey of speaking with your soul, let me know and I will share it with you!
Summer, I keep my diary till now. In the past, my diary book was so boring, with only words. But now, I will take a picture for that particular day and write a few sentences. When I now read my diary back, I felt more realistic, and recall my memory truly!
ReplyDeleteSOULARIUM that you mentioned was quite interesting, actually, I found that a child with a bunch of ballons represented my life at this moment now, haaa!! Ballons represent my future and hope. I am the child with smile on her face, which implied that I feel great and optimistic about my future life!
