Final Project

Many people ask me what led me to the idea of this project. Well….I can't really put my finger on one thing, but I do know it has to do with last year…
Last year I was an exchange student in Barcelona for eight months.
I was walking in the Ramblas, riding the metro from one place to another, admiring Gaudy's architecture and then it suddenly hit me: I was somewhere else.
I was still me, but my environment was different and it even showed in my work.
The transformation from a holy-stiff environment to a carefree environment made me think about all kinds of environments, cultures and influences, and about it's effect on creativity. What leads us to our creation? How effected are we by our surroundings?

These questions and others had occupied me since, so when I came back to Jerusalem I have decided to look more into it.
I've also thought about all these artists and designers that we all know as icons. Non of us really think of them as individuals who always seek for ideas and creation.
I've been thinking about it together with the environmental issue and thought of a way that I could investigate it
After a thought I've decided to start this project.

Question: What do you think, does the environment effect your work?
Does your daily routine has an influence on your creative ideas?

Please share your thoughts.
