I have played on the idea of making connections by placing three photographs together to show my connection to my possessions. These objects show my connections to activities that I love to do, such as snowboarding and playing x-box in my personal space outside of school. I have tried to balance the colours, the objects and myself in a way that offers viewers an image of my life that they would not otherwise see.
