The Silence

The Silence

There's something you should know about me. Randomly I take inspiration from taking two random words and trying to make something related to my practice with it. You know, picking out random words from a book and just rolling with it? Anyways, that's what ended up happening for me. Using this creativity boosting technique to make something different.

So this is a mix of digital and physical materials. Playing with glue and paints and such while using my digital manipulation techniques. I decided that I would create an additional barrier on myself to make something with both forms of mediums. My two "words/phrases" ended up being the following...

-Hijab
-Doctor Who

Hijab was in a Time magazine and I got Doctor Who from a magazine which I am assuming was just advertising the show. Having never watched Doctor Who I just kinda rolled up some of the imagery from the show that I liked. I found some characters named "The Silence" (Correct me if I am wrong.) that seemed fairly interesting. According to my brief research about them it sounds like their identity or image is erased from your memory whenever they chose?

Hijab is the headscarf/covering that Muslim women wear. Which is a cultural identifier when I visualize Muslim women in my own typical American point of view.

I merged the two together in my own image/interpretation. I am not sure what I want to speak about with this image but it's kinda creepy, and all I know is that I like it!

+I don't own Doctor Who/The Silence or any characters affiliated with it. This is merely an experiment and creation of the said character in my own interpretation.
