Let The Flames Begin - Paramore
Lyrics: "Let the flames begin" + "Oh glory" For this project I focused on the themes "Power" "Change" and "Control". I used a saw blade, a dremel, spray paint, and braille in order to create this mildly dangerous record. The individual dots that make up the braille characters represent my chosen themes better than any other aspect of the piece. It took a great deal of power in order to carve those dots into the blade, as is made of stainless steel. (I even had to go buy a new heavy duty dremel bit) If you look closely, you can see gouges that shoot off from some of the dots, and while these were admittedly unintentional, I feel accurately show the relationship between power and control. When you use too much force, or power, you begin to lose control and you disturb the harmony of the group as a whole. With too much control and not enough power, there would have been no way the dots would have gone deeper than under the layers of spray paint that coat the blade. Change is the most abstract theme in this piece but I feel like the most effective way to make change happen is by having an equal balance of power and control.
