I began part three by deciding my theme. I wanted to be very personal therefore I chose OCD as a starting point. After some feedback I realised that the term OCD was too general and I should focus more on myself and how it effects me. Following that I researched some artists and different media where I was inspired to create a photoshoot of myself displaying my obsessive cleaning habit. So I asked one of my friends to model for me and I covered her in foil and cleaning products and took shots from different angles. When I showed those images to my tutor, he told me that it looked way too artificial as I shot it in a studio with a person who does not share my obsessions. In order for it to be more real, I was suggested to document my own life in a more realistic setting. 

After the pandemic I had a large gap in my working process due to medical issues however I tried my best to keep up producing work for my final outcome. As I mentioned previously, I took some series of images at home wearing face masks. These were to represent my addiction of keeping clean and I wanted to show that in a repulsive way. I made frustrated faces and exaggerated expressions to give an intimidating look. After I reviewed these images I was glad at how scary and repulsive it looked overall. In addition, I took another series of images to combine with the initial ones. These consisted of my kitchen sink being dirty. I think it represented how messy and claustrophobic I feel because of this condition. I plan to collage these two imageries in a way that it repeats itself and makes the viewer feel trapped. 

At the end of my outcome, I was very disappointed because I couldn't produce enough work. Nevertheless I managed to put something together to represent my intentions and theme in general. As I mentioned, I collaged my photos and added text that creates panic and distress which is exactly what I feel when I feel obliged to clean and tidy up all the time. I decided to place my posters in the escalator so that the viewer feels sick after seeing it so many times and emphasise with the condition. As a result I am proud of my ideas and produced work although the development and the quantity could've been much better honestly.
