How Do I Interpretate Origin?

My own interpretation of Origin is in regard to my own beginning. To me the word origin signifies the start of many different subjects

During my project I would like to further my knowledge and photography skills by obtaining a set of images that reflects exactly what it is I am studying. This is going to be through looking back at my family heritage specifically looking at the ancestors in my grandfathers family. This connotes to the project word Origin, as it is focusing on my own origin and how my family together as one has formed today. During this idea I would like to lay out and draw family trees and take pictures of the networks. Essentially then hoping to find out more information about my ancestors and then visiting old sites that hold sentimental value to my family. Another idea i would like to put into action with my findings is posing as my ancestors around buildings to resemble what life would of been like at the time of them being alive. This matters to me as my grandad himself has dementia and is therefore unable to communicate with me about anything to do with his past. I know from prior conversations many years ago however, that we was in Jersey during the time of the occupation and i would really like to get a sense of how that impacted not only his life but my family as a whole. I intend to begin my study this weekend of the 7th of march hopefully looking to visit graveyards and old sites for a photoshoot that summarises my ancestors lives

I would then like to further this idea yet again by posing as my family members in images and re creating them. For my final set of images I will display them in a photobook side by side and write a caption below with certain key points from the photographs for example when they were taken and where also including who’s in the pictures
