qualms: a work in progress
photography, creative direction, print design, web design, app design
qualms is a conceptual project based on a short photo session I conducted with some friends and peers. as the participants showed up to the studio, I asked them to respond to a simple question: what is wrong with our world? based on their response, I crafted an image to go along with their qualm. these images are being made into a zine that will show the images alongside their respective responses.
"Unequal distribution of power, wealth, resource, respect."
"With internet media platforms we have all the tools required to globally connect the village of humanity such that we could empathize with each other productively but instead they are flooded with propaganda which divides us, lowers our self-esteem and targets us with advertisements."
"No person is stronger than the state of their mental health. We would rather ignore and trivialize the problem of mental illness than understand and treat it."
"Humans parasitic relationship with our environment, and our destruction of natural resources for short term economic gain"
"We’re taught that there are a limited number of seats at the table and to fight over them, or fear losing our spot. I want to see us build a bigger fucking table."
the future of this project manifests in an online and mobile application that allows people to submit their qualms to a searchable database.
