First Experimentation: Finding the object
For this experimentation, we had to categorize certain objects in different categories that have an abstract and special meaning for us. The chosen categories where family meetings, holidays celebrations, family inheritance and traditions, hobbies and passion, and finally childhood memories.
First Category: Family meetings
Second Category: Holidays Celebrations
Third Category: Family inheritance and traditions
Fourth Category: Hobbies
Fifth Category: Childhood memories
Abstract concepts of some of the objects
THE OBJECT
Key words: Passion, Hobbies, Sport, Symbol, Gift, Representation, Experience, Memories, Motivation, Childhood and Growth.
History:
The story of my object begins when I was very young. This helmet was a gift from my parents when I was about 3 or 4 years old, just before I got my first bike for my birthday. This helmet has a very important meaning for me, because it is what started my passion for motorcycles and this sport, but it also symbolizes all the support that my parents have given me to continue with my passion and giving it all. The fact that my father used to be a professional motorcyclist could also influence this passion and love for the sport that I have, considering it already a family tradition.

"Family is the compass that guides our path, the inspiration to walk to the top of the mountain and the greatest comfort when something goes wrong."
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
The transformations experimentation allows me to see my own object from other angles and thus to be able to deepen in the true meaning that it has for me. I consider that it is effective for my work because it allows me to have a better clarity of the narrative and the meaning of the object and thus be able to represent it in a better way. It can generate different interpretations as I give different representations of my object which allows the viewer to delve into the different symbolic and abstract meanings. The different representations improve the quality of the presentation of the object.

Theme: Dialogues and peace agreements between the Colombian government and FARC.
|
Abstract concept: Disagreement and negotiations
|
This work deals mainly with the peace agreements that took place between the government and the FARC guerrilla group. These dialogues were supposed to put an end to a long period of terrorism and war that only brought violence and death to the Colombian population. However, during these negotiations, some agreements were established from which there arose great disagreement on the part of society. These disagreements led to a vote that would determine the approval of the agreements, remembered as the "Yes" and "No" votes. After the vote, the "No" won, which generated great discord in society and forced the Colombian leaders to rethink more appropriate agreements. However, the controversy over the "No" vote was represented when these people were accused of "not wanting peace". Therefore, the Peace Accords were carried out, but with new conditions where there would be true "justice".
