Personal collage project

I had been collecting train tickets with the intention of making something out of them for a project. I didn't have an idea for ages, so I looked to why I was getting them. I had been purchasing most of these tickets to attend events, meetings, or classes, with the goal of furthering my design career, but frustratingly, I've had no luck.


I used these tickets to create a collage of a scene on the London Overground, a location in which I do a lot of pondering.


I added text below the art with letters from these tickets, reading, "I made this collage from train tickets I used to pursue opportunities in London. Every possible event, talk, interview - and I still have not been able to secure a permanent role. Please hire young talent."
