Confession

My first idea is to bring a small roll of scotch tape to class and have a thin black marker. what I will do is throughout the class time I will right single words on the roll of tape and place them around the room. I think writing the words as small as possible will work well so that the words or possibly the project won’t be so noticeable. I think it's a way of emphasizing how we hold tightly to these inner feelings that we try not to confess.


I currently can't think of a huge confession I might like to bring out but if so I think a good way of presenting it would be to set up my confession in a random kind of out of sight location in the room. Then with either a flashlight or light pointer I'll point at it every five minutes or so until people see it. Once again it’s a symbolism for the content of the confession being buried down inside and the flashlight acts as a means of bringing it to light.


I don't have a potential third interpretation to the project but I'd like to create a way of expressing a confession through a more direct form of symbolism or using symbolism that has to do with the confession being told rather than the idea of confessing.
