‘We should be angrier!’ is a line that’s been hitting me lately. Living in this world for twenty-odd years has left me numb, or maybe just used to a system that’s put profits above anything else. I would like to be louder be more active in my views and stands, perhaps it might make a much needed change. I signed it petition to protect Maju forest and re share numerous artist and ecological experts post, would that makes anything different ? I have no idea, but it does help me sleep better at night.

Biggest expectations for the course

I want to come out of this course more skilled. I’m hoping the exchange or placement opportunities Portsmouth offers will let me meet experts, artists, and inspiring lecturers. And realistically, I need a job by the end of this.

Well with the rates that AI is development, i have no idea what kind of job would be in the job market by the time we graduate. Hence i hope that our course could help us to work with AI and evolve along way.

I would like to have year abroad to exchange to experience student life in a different country and a year of placement to boots my portfolio and experience British job culture.

Looking back to these work remind me of my lectures and friend's who helped me to create these pieces. It mark a time of our life.
