Student Narrative

My artist book is a camera obscura, which I used to reflect drawings of my astrological birth chart and a transit chart for the current time period. I wanted it to be reminiscent of the celestial heavens being reflected onto Earth, and how astrology can depict the personal growth, development, and story of each person. I also wrote small interpretations of my transits, explaining how the energy might affect me; I did this in the familiar style of horoscopic astrology.
