Our hike, for me, represented clarity within nature and the connection to our ancestors.
Learning to observe and allow nature to consume my mind. Allowing some details to stand out and allowing me to 'breathe'. The beauty of nature is its purity. I drew a tree representing the life of nature. Nature is awake and thriving.

Bring Me To Life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YxaaGgTQYM

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb?
Without a soul;
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me. )
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up. )
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up. )
Before I come undone.
(Save me. )
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me. )
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up. )
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up. )
Before I come undone.
(Save me. )
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie/There's nothing inside.)
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a one thousand years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
(Don't let me die here/There must be something more.)
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me. )
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up. )
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up. )
Before I come undone.
(Save me. )
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie/There's nothing inside.)
Bring me to life.

Graphic Design Process
From Problem to Solution

6 Development
During the development of a design, prototyping is gravely important and critical for any project.
The design is still fragile-and may end up losing the original idea due to overworking the design or possibly losing the original concept or idea.

6.1 Iteration
The graphic design process is a constant exchange between inhibited experimentation and careful judgment. "Before I start to design I need to be inspired by something I see, something I smell, something I taste." Apeloig thinks of his pieces as woven objects.
