In MY WALK project we have to use complete primary research so only photos or pieces of writing or drawing that are complete our own. I decided to take some photos of religious items.
My idea was to take photos of items like the crucifix and rosary beads and how they have become a total fashion statement. Shops like Urban Outfitters and Topshop are selling t shirts with crosses on them, and rosary bead to "complete" your outfit and with the rise of Lady GaGa more and more young people are jumping on the "Blasphemous" BANDWAGON!
I have collected religious items and imagery for years....pretty much since i was 10 (I even still have my Holy Communion rosary) and it frustrates me in one way as I hate "hipster" kids thinking it is all "cool" and "unique" but on the other hand I can add to my collection haha!
