Words: Compound & Firm
I made a music score.
Please don’t read the following part before going through the music score.
I made a music score based on archival images of “depressed mom”, which are the keywords I searched. The score requires participants to actively perform it. I think pain is abstract, personal, and unquantifiable, especially when it comes to mental pain. That’s why I need the participants to express it in an abstract way using their sound.
My words Compound & Firm leads me from the British Royal Family to postpartum depression. Find more below:
Thought process
- British Royal Family, because they are always referred to as firms. Compound is a collection of at least two elements.
- Why think of royal family? Because of the whole Megan drama of the officials using AI to generate her photo while people think she is missing. Compound? My high school chemistry.
- My parents graduated with Chemistry majors. But I hate it. My worst subject.
- My mom stops working in chemical firm after having my sister. Megan is now an influencer mom.
- Wow. commonality.
- Baby raising? Family responsibilities? Baby fingers?
- How to resolve postpartum depression？
- Pain is abstract.
- Fragmented
- Firm and compound: you have to be firm.
- Compound: made of multiple things.
