Blade Runner

 

Inspiration

When Roy was dying, he said, "all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain." The idea of those lost moments inspired our collage. We decided to a fully black-and-white background of other characters in the film and various beautiful images of the world. Roy's picture is elevated in bright colors. This contrast shows the loss of his memories, as if they are fading away.

This is us cutting out all of the photos for our collage!

Cutting the cardboard.

Taping the cut photos and painting the rest of the open space black.

How did I relate to this quote?

Roy's final moments and the loss of his life's memories reminded me of a common phrase seen on social media. I see people excusing wasting time or skipping events by saying, "we're living on a floating rock, it doesn't matter, nothing matters." Although somewhat true, even if we are tiny specs in the middle of nowhere, this life may be all that we get. I want to live my life to the fullest by making as many fun and incredible memories and studying and working hard to achieve the future that I have dreamed of. Even if my memories do fade away after I die, I hope to look back and feel confident knowing that I spent my life with people I love and enjoyed it as much as possible.
