Requiem

Class of: 2023

Major: Product Design BFA

Medium: Video

Faculty: Joey Christiano Diaz

Prompt: Students were asked to reflect on a memory that they felt was a milestone in their lives, noting any visuals colors, sounds, etc, that they associated with the memory. Then, students were to translate the experience of their choice into a soundscape that incorporated color.

“Requiem” explores the multiplicity of perceptions that can be tied to one occurrence and the ability to compress years of experiences into minutes through the use of sound and color. This video keeps my memories of growing up while my grandmother’s illness, a cancer that ultimately claimed her life, matured by my side.
