media collection: on sisterhood
also titled: on big sisters, little sisters, and the literal manifestation of my heart
I have this folder in my notes app called “hyperspecific media collections”, where I find a specific mood or topic I love and compile a media collection. They consist of book quotes, song lyrics, paintings, and scenes from movies or television shows. I love the idea that all forms of art and creativity are intricately connected, and seeing these parallels and similarities allows me to truly appreciate art.
This usually starts with me finding one specific quote that I really love, and then going through all the music, literature, and art I know in my mind and trying to find something that evokes a similar feeling in me.
I was supposed to post this three weeks ago on my sister’s birthday, but it got pushed! This is a relatively long media collection (because I love my sister and I love talking about being a sister), so enjoy!
