Prompt: This is a project that makes an artist book. My chosen topic is my friend’s suicide in high school. But I don’t want to talk about it directly, I combine high school with the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Therefore, I want to show how my friend changed from a student who was oppressed by the school to a rebellious student and then sought freedom in his own way.
My chosen topic is my friend’s suicide in high school. But I don’t want to talk about it directly, I combine high school with the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Therefore, I want to show how my friend changed from a student who was oppressed by the school to a rebellious student and then sought freedom in his own way. In the form, I choose to use the first perspective to keep a diary for explaining my friend’s thinking. As time passed, I want to authors see the change of the feelings in my friend.
