IMY 120 | Digital self-portrait | 2024

Anica Ferreira

Main idea: This is a representation of me because it captures my tendency to get lost in my daydreams and how I see the world differently. The wings represent the freedom I feel when I get lost in my own imagination. I am inspired by authors and artists who create fantasy worlds like this, which fuels my own creativity.

Noah Dollenberg

Main idea: I aspire to become a filmmaker and director, much like Christopher Nolan. Filmmaking is all that I do and all I want to do in the future and his films have inspired me to embrace creativity and seize every opportunity to achieve this dream. We share a similar mindset and approach, as he also didn’t study film but used his degree as a backup plan and a tool to pursue his filmmaking goals.

Liane Hanekom

Main idea: The cloaked figure represents my introverted nature, gazing into a fantasy world that reflects my passion for art mythology and storytelling. The portal signifies my curiosity and tendency to daydream, always seeking ways to escape and discover new ideas. The incorporation of elements such as, dragons, runes, paintings etc. Ties into my love for creativity, fantasy and art.
