    In the piece shown in this blog, I use metaphor, subjectivity, hyper signification, autobiography, agency (politicize the personal); and I comment on culture

      This post is a great use of metaphor. I usually think of empowerment as something that comes from within. This artists uses physical strength portrayed in a yoga pose as a metaphor for inner empowerment. I also think the' 'wind' coming from her hands acts as a metaphor for all that she is capable of changing and what she is changing. I also think yoga itself can be interpreted as an installation piece commenting on empowerment and struggle.

      I think this postsecret is great. There is so much pressure that goes along with Valentines Day. For some reasons it seems if you dont have a valentine you are less valuable or worthy. How did this happen?

      Whenever I check out I always wonder what the cashier thinks about my purchases. Often I find myself disconnecting from the cashier and think for some reason they dont really 'see' what I am buying. What a weird dynamic.

      This post really speaks to the influence of Facebook. Before facebook the person who posted this would probably never see the pictures. It is very strange and like this poster it seems people torture themselves by not being able to look away- don't look at the pictures lady!
