While browsing online I came across Joana Vasconcelos and this particular piece of work from 1999 named 'Spot me'. It intrigued me as I thought that the message it shows compliments my project due to my interpretation of it. I felt that this showed quite a strong message surrounding vanity and self indulgence. People are largely focused on their outward appearance and I picked up on this based on what kinds of things peoples shrines consisted of (such as images of themselves etc). It gave me more ideas towards creating a small shrine environment. The basis and meaning around this would be to find out how people feel within the environment, to see if what I consider a shrine would be comforting to them as well as myself.
