Week 6- Jenisse Castillo

Everyone has days where you just sit in your car and drive. These are most of my days. I spend most of my week in a car commuting to school. While many people hate driving, I love it. It's the place where I can sit and either think about what my day will be like, or reflect on it. This particular day I was in the car with a friend. We were listening to music and just driving around town. Prior to this, I had asked my friend to drive past my grandmothers house which I hadn't been to since she passed away. With Mother's Day on my mind, I really wanted to pass by and see her house. Though she passed away a years ago, she is still in my heart.
Soon after we passed her house, we ended up on this road that overlooked the hills. We sat in silence looking out at the sunset. I thought about my grandmother and how much time I spent in her neighborhood, and even though I hadn't been there for years, as soon as we went there I had all these memories flash back to me. I looked at the different colors that were in the sky. It created that inner peace for me. It was similar to the feelings I have when I drive to school, that reflection. If put on the stage, I would want to create that same gradient of light. With the blue and the blend of orange to create that peace, and try to grasp the memories. The intensities would have to be dim, to create that grey in the sky, but also not to dim where the lights would not show the colors. I would most lleikyl use Fresnel to create that blurred effect.
