Research and Progress:<\/h2>\n

I started with the meaning of my topic and found that it has usually been used as terminology (in biology, microanatomy, zoology, etc.). It usually means small holes and openings on\/inside one creature’s body.\u00a0 I was lost in different biology papers at the beginning and had no idea what I could do with the topic. After having an interview with a biology Ph.D., I got a deeper understanding of the fenestra. I realized that fenestra is usually used for balancing the pressure and transporting small parts in and out. I decided to go deep in this direction.\u00a0 The guide should focus more on pressure and balancing.<\/p>\n

When searching for the form of the guide, I want to find a form that can reduce the professionalism of the word and make it more interesting. Also, personally, I want to try something non-tech. The Pop-up book is typically used for children and educational functions. Also, it\u2019s mainly used for storytelling or showcasing. I plan to focus on its storytelling part, but I want to tell a story that can interest both the children and the adults.<\/p>\n

When thinking about metaphor, I decided to reconstruct the topic and get some key elements to follow in my project. As I mentioned above, the key concepts are pressure and balancing. While the pressure here means hydraulic or air pressure, the word “pressure” can also mean mental pressure. One step further, emotional balance comes out.<\/p>\n

Then when I start to work on the guide, to show my content to everyone directly with the lowest age limitations, language limitations, or knowledge reserved, I choose to take a symbolic path. Also, I found out that showing the structure directly is not the best solution since it is hard for the audience who sees the guide for the first time to get \u201cwhat it is” without a text explanation. Compared to explaining what a fenestra is, I want the audience to understand the story more. As a result, I used the term “the Gate” instead. And small dots to show the “emotions” instead of actual molecules. Also, I did some research on “emotions and colors” and “emotions and shapes” to choose the best visualization for different emotions.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the guide: Small openings, holes, or mistakes do not destroy us; it is part of us and sometimes help us get out of bad situations.<\/p>\n

While making the guide, Venus de Milo comes to my mind. People have more or less sorrow and pain. It is these sorrows and pains that complete us. Miraculously, sometimes they give us the power to move on. “I’ve already gone through all these things; what else could beat me?” Honestly, these thoughts are far away from my topic: fenestra. However, they were born from all the research I’ve done and all the reconstruction I’ve tried. I was hesitant to continue in this direction, and finally, I decided to go and follow my heart.\u00a0 We are all like fenestra with invisible openings to live our own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
