I really like this project. I think it is a really cool idea because it allows us to really describe who we are as a person and what we like to do without having to write about it. Seeing a picture allows the viewer to create their own interpretation of what we are trying to depict compared to reading a paper which is a bit more black and white. I think what shipka means by “made whole” is the idea that by incorporating pieces that are not just writing help create a better understanding of what the author’s point is that they are trying to make. The ballet slippers are a great example of this because yes there is writing on the slippers that the audience can read but the addition of the visual aspect of the slippers help add to the author’s point. This project draws directly from Shipka’s idea because of the visual portion.
