Title: One Sided Conversation This is about Long Distance Relationships and people's varying opinion. It's to make people think as the media usually shows the negative side of Long Distance Relationships. This is to challenge that idea to show conflicting opinions to help inform and for people to be able to really think about it.
Project Description

Title: Fonder Hearts

This project explores Long Distance Relationships through the medium of Printed photography and an audio piece paired with an animation. The photographic work displays the emotions of how it feels like to be in a Long Distances relationship. The feeling of longing and missing and the eventual meeting, touches the reconnection and makes the faith worth it and the reconnection amplifies those feelings. Matched with an audio piece of a one side conversation, where in between the voice, you can hear people’s opinions on Long Distance Relationship with often conflicting point of views. The aim of this project is to create a conversation about Long Distance Relationships and to create a positive point of view or a different one to what the media portrays. To learn that Long Distance Relationships aren’t completely negative, and they can work.
