The Project

Aside from intent to give exposure to the participants’ aesthetic abilities, this interactive exhibit intends to explore the meaning-making process, and discrepancies between messages received by viewers contrasted against the message intended by the photographer, as well as the interplay between the meaning connoted or suggested (suggested or inferred meaning) and denotation (literal meaning).
