What Does Jerusalem Mean To YOU?

Final Project Outline

What Does Jerusalem Mean To YOU?

I. Hard covered book- addressing the general public view of Jerusalem.
1. Black and White portrait
A. Next to a hand written or drawn entry by the sitter

I want to show, in a primary way, what Columbus Ohio's general public thinks of Jerusalem. I will ask random people to take their photograph, then hand them a sketch book in which they have complete freedom to express how they feel about Jerusalem. Or how Jerusalem MAKES them feel. I have done a book like this before, it was "What it means to be American." Flipping through it still has an effect on me, and I've viewed it many many many times. I think a photograph, and hand written expression peels back some sort of veil so we can see the fragility of humanity a little more clearly.
