The diploma thesis is based on my diary entries in sketchbooks, where I wrote down and sketched things that intrigued me in one way or another on a daily basis.
By studying the works of artists throughout the world who recorded their day-to-day lives in a diary, and of artists who explored the motifs of found objects and the random stranger in their artistic practice, I searched for similarities with how I perceive the same motifs. That way, I created a series of graphics by analysing my own diary entries and combining them with the found texts and photographs of strangers.
In the practical part of the thesis, I delved into the screen-printing technique, where I worked with photography, analysed it, combined text with photographs, analysed the content of the random stranger motif, and created a visual diary that is based on the found objects.
