This week’s theme for class was the concept of Other Worlds. If you do not know what an Other World is, it is basically an entirely different world hidden inside another world. A great depiction of this concept is shown in Space Jam, where Michael Jordan travels through a hole in the ground by Bugs Bunny and is transported into the Looney Tunes world.
On Monday, we were tasked with taking photographs around the entire UW Bothell campus and creating a mythical story about Other Worlds from them. Here is that story:
It all started with two friends who lived in a house called the Truly House. One day, they saw a beautiful dandelion. Not like one they have ever seen before. The two friends like it so much they decide to take it from the ground and keep it for themselves. However, when they did this, they were transported into a dark place they later find is called the Underworld. Waiting for them was each of their dead mothers, who tell them the only way they will ever be able to leave is to beat them in a game of pool. The two friends eventually win, but when they finally returned to their own world, they noticed things were much different than when they left. In the place of their house was the UW Bothell campus and their house had also been relocated. They decided to see what else had changed and noticed that there was a graveyard where all of their friends and family had been buried. So now, if you ever decide to mess with nature, know what the consequences might be.
