MINIMALISM- NEEDS VS WANTS

-

 MINIMALISM

Minimalism is a style in which a small number of very simple things are used to create a particular effect. This includes less financial burdens such as debt and unnecessary expenses. It is where we live with less than 100 items in the whole world. It basically is living with the only minimum stuffs which we need and not what we want.

Watch this documentary to get a clear knowledge about it:




So in this videos SAM HARRIS said that " but then a new version comes out and now you no longer care about the one you have is a source of dissatisfaction." This line basically says that we no longer care for the stuffs which we have when a new product or new version or it launches. So its not about consumption but the problem is compulsory consumption. Why don't we buy stuffs which we really need the most? It's just because we look at the stuff we find it fascinating or cheap or trendy and then buy it and then keep it aside without using it properly. It's not about getting rid of our own stuffs but it's about getting control over it.
Remember YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPIER BY CONSUMING MORE.

UPCLYCLING FROM MY WARDROBE.

  UPCYCLING FASHION: Upcycled fashion  takes the  clothes  that would otherwise be thrown away and reinvents them. The whole principle behind  upcycling clothing  is to take used garments and create new looks. As a result,  clothing  is given a new look, and new life, rather than adding to waste in a landfill.  The purpose  of  upcycling  is reducing waste and improving  the  efficiency of resource use. So here I tried to upcycle my one piece dress which I hardly wore a couple of times only and changed it  into a crop top and skirt and the final result was really interesting. It was a very simple process and using it I created something which I really liked it. Firstly I chopped off the dress into two half. So that the upper portion could be worn as a crop top and the lower portion as a skirt. Then in the first look I wore the crop top and the skirt and gave it a casual look for friends outing. Also paired it wit...

Harmony- Installation

HARMONY is the combination of separate but related parts in a way that uses their similarities to bring their unity to a painting, drawing or any other object. So, the assignment was to show harmony in at least three elements and do a installation project. I showed harmony in shapes with the bottles, harmony in colour with the help of battery lights and cellophane paper and harmony in texture with the threads wrapped around. I decided to make an installation inspired from "THUNDER AND LIGHTNING". Also my concept was to recycle and reuse the old products kept unused at my home. As a grown girl I still have a fear of thunder sounds and lightning effects, so I decided that why not make my own version of thunder and lightning which does not make us afraid but while watching it gives calm and peaceful mind. MATERIALS USED: PROCESS: I cut the bottles into halves and then wrapped them with the thread. Inserted small battery lights inside the bottles and hanged the bottles with the h...
