Creativity Quote Bracelet

Last semester I created this collaged bangle for my Visual Communications class. The assignment was simple: create something (anything) that visually conveys a specific quote.

I choose this quote by Julia Cameron:

Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness

It fit perfectly with my idea of collaging a bangle, because the bracelet, like the quote, symbolizes the circle of life. Then playing off the quote again, I used a graduation of black, grey and white plain and patterned papers as the background. I placed the quote on top then added some stick-on gems for a bit of sparkle.

Then I presented it in this small box surrounded by black tissue paper, as if it were also emerging from darkness.
