There are reoccurring features that are on all the of prints. The birds (metophore for migration), grass and in the final three the trees. I wanted aspects of the young girl's aspiration to be in some form across the series.
I wanted this to be the key narrative to follow. This has been incorporated into things that I have learned about refugees and asylum seekers, also key motifs that have come up during the project (the tree). The color blue worked well and ties the series together nicely. I am disappointed I didn't have more time to explore more of the narratives I sourced from the conversations with the participants. It would have been good to do some more prints featuring the stories I heard of trying to adapt to living in Leeds. But printing onto fabric and creating the hangings was something that I really enjoyed and makes a strong presentation method. Also with fabric, it can be made into a multiple of different products and garments. In the future projects, I want to explore this more! Taking a political, social, environmental issue and creating them into designs.
