for this project the object I chose was an empty wine bottle . I chose this because I felt that it was something that I could write well about because it was something personal . I had the idea for this from when I was in care and would write letters to my mum about how I was feeling and what was going on and keep them in a box . I wrote this in letter form and wrote about some of the bigger things in my life whilst also making sure I bought it back to the empty bottle to show the effect alcoholism has in peoples lives .
to make this I glued string in shape of a bottle but then made it curled up inside , this to me was to show that although you may look at a bottle and see it as just a bottle , within every glass the emptier the bottle gets the more damage it does .
this is the most important piece to me because by me putting my hand print on it ,it means that what I have written about will always be a part of me and a part of who I am today but also that I would not be who I am today without it ,and to show others that you don’t need to be ashamed and if you are going to let it change you to let it change you for the best .
