The unique thing about this piece was that it provided a new and different story.

We Discuss is back! For the first meeting of 2014, which is exactly one week away, we would like to invite you to talk about things that are made by us, for us.
At what point do we feel the urge to abandon everything that is readily available to us for the sake of exploring our creativity? There are, of course, many reasons as to why we’d rather make our own things instead of buying them; financial, political, ideological, etc. But whatever the reason may be, “independence” – whether it is an individual or collective independence – is an important keyword. In this discussion, let’s reflect on the possible practical and/or social significance of the “do it yourself” movement. Share your thoughts and personal experience!
- What does it mean to “do it yourself” – to make things from scratch or to merely assemble things?
- While the DIY mindset encourages independence, we cannot ignore the importance of the that allow us to make things. The role of technology is very important.
- Under what conditions do you think the DIY movement would thrive? Do you think it can develop well in Jakarta?
- Increased effort = increased value?
- Making things by yourself means that you have plenty of room for innovation, but it also means that you are challenging the accepted standards. What are advantages and disadvantages to work according to your own needs and standards? (Alternative education is an especially relevant topic, but it is by now means limited to it. Food production, music, literature, and other art forms are also included.)
- Creating vs. re-creating: Doesn’t creativity have a huge role in the art of reparation, in “creating” something new out of a broken object? By repairing things, we are putting old things to good use, and it also gives us the perfect chance to experiment.
- Having said that, how do we actually define “creativity” in this technological era? Computers allow us to engage in various creative tasks – from writing, making music, to drawing – but would this kind of creativity count as a part of the DIY movement?
- Chris Anderson, the former editor-in-chief of , noted that that “The digital natives are starting to hunger for life beyond the screen.” How true is his comment? Despite the time we invest in our digital activities, do we still want to create something that exists in the physical world?
- How does the DIY mindset and movement affect our sense of identity?
- Do you think that groups and communities are important to keep the DIY culture alive?
- If we consider the DIY culture in terms of collectives, is it a that seeks an alternative way of living or a that intentionally opposes the norm?

The Garden Collection is an eight-part photography series created by freelance photographer Emily Blincoe. This series was created by using a collection of plants within the same color range above a black surface. The color themes used for this collection are white, orange, pink, red, green, yellow, purple, and brown, where the subjects itself include a variety of plants such as flowers, leaves, and even vegetables. The plants are aligned in a symmetrical order, creating the shape of a rectangle.
The overall view of the piece syncs together nicely, making the colors of the plants pop above the black surface. The fact that the plants are well aligned, also make it a more beautiful scene. The position of plants combined with synchronization of colors give a sense of allure that keeps the audience interested.
What makes this piece unique is its playfulness with colors and shape. It not only utilizes the mix of colors, but also the size and orders of the plants. Each piece creates its own unique personality that differentiates it from one another, not only from its colors, but also from the way it’s positioned. We can see how the white differs from the purple, where white consists more of big flowers and the purple consists more of small pieces of flowers, or how brown is made of more elongated plants, while pink is made of more wide or round shaped plants.
Blincoe maintains a consistency in creating her garden, producing neat arrangements of plants constantly forming a rectangle. How this is done throughout the eight part series makes the whole piece come together nicely. A slight flaw in this piece would be the orange photograph, where it is slightly out of focus, but overall it worked out well.
This piece provides a unique concept for the audience and can be categorized as a sight for sore eyes. It is refreshing and cool and would place nicely for anyone that appreciates a good photograph.
