CONFESSION DOCUMENTATION FINAL PROJECT
I just presented my confession project today and I think it went pretty well. I ended up going with my ex-boyfriend confession; how I used up all my energy, time, and money trying to help my ex-boyfriend remain sober and better his life. During this process I ended up losing my identity and gained his of his bad characteristics. So I made a liberty scale out of a ruler, ear phones, a hanger, paper clips, and red cups. I collected a different range of sized rocks and painted them different colors. I matched the "emotion words" to the colors of the painted watch; for example the blue rock=depression, red rock=stress, green rock=jealousy, yellow rock=co-dependency, and the black rock=lost. When I first presented the project all the rocks were in the cup labeled ex-boyfriend, and the cup labeled me was empty so it was higher than the ex-boyfriend cup. I took out a rock and placed it into my cup while saying the word, "transfer." At the end my cup had all the rocks in it so my cup was lower, symbolizing how the emotions or rocks were pulling me down and ultimately I had lost myself in that relationship. I don't really like to talk about it to people I don't know very well, so it was hard but I also felt a lot of support from the class. I also chose to build the scale out of things that were easily found around the house to symbolize how much we struggled in our relationship especially financially and how we had to find anything to keep us together. I enjoyed making this project and it really challenged me to think out of the box.
