Disappeared

For my FMP project, I intend to engage in thematic exploration of the Atacama Desert, Chile. I recently watched a documentary film called 'Nostalgia For The Light' by Patricio Guzman. The film highlights differences between Astronomers searching the stars, and women still searching for their 'disappeared' relatives buried in the Atacama under the dictatorship of Pinochet. I intend to highlight these themes through creative experimentation, inspired by my own trip to Chile. As I specialise in fashion and textiles, for my final piece I will create an inventive garment that highlights key themes.

These are some of my primary imagery taken in the Atacama Desert. I intend to explore the beauty of the natural environment, focusing on colours and textures.
