Approach

So as mentioned before I really liked this song so I wanted to put my spin on it. My favorite part of the song is the chorus. I really like the melody so that is the section of the song I decided to use. In it she references "cranes in the sky," which refers to construction cranes used a metaphor for her emotional recovery. Rather than just recreating construction cranes I wanted to make something a little bit more uplifting. Construction cranes are generally ugly but they can be used to create something beautiful. So I instead focused on the product of that emotional recovery by spinning the cranes she referenced into the animal cranes. I used to do origami in primary school so I used those skills to represent the finish line of emotional recovery. And the heart represents being whole after that recovery. I used graph paper for the heart to show the construction aspect of the heart because a lot of work is done in the heart as on processes emotions.
