When I was given the assignment to create an exhibition on Instagram, the first brief I received to base my image on was;

“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul”.

For this I thought about escapism and thought about what sorts of activities we do when we just want to escape from the activities happening around us. I decided to write a poem about the notion of escaping and take an image of that poem. I also decided to write a poem as I felt the quote I was given had a poetic tone to it as I read it aloud.  When i took the image I went through the Instagram image effects and chose to change the image into black and white to exaggerate the atmosphere and the feeling the quote gave to me.
