I finally have a title for my collection!!
I've been struggling for the longest time trying to decide on what I was going to call my senior collection. I wanted something that related to my capstone but had a good ring to it. It probably doesn't help that I am the worst at deciding on names for things.
At my wit's end, I decided to look up obscure words for things that are hard to identify and came across the word:
"Zenosyne (noun): The sense that time appears to be moving faster and faster--especially as one grows older--speeding towards the inevitable conclusion that will arrive unexpectedly soon."
I loved the word and the fact that I could, in a sense, connect it back to my capstone concept. However, it wasn't quite what I wanted, so I decided to change the 'E' at the end to a 'C' and turn the word into sync. I kinda liked it and it had a catchy sound to it.
So I then went on to do a general google search of the word Zeno (as I do with most names I decide to use, just to make sure something significant isn't already using the name), and the only thing that came up was information about this guy: Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic Greek Philosopher.
I realized with much excitement that I had unintentionally stumbled across the perfect name that reflected my concept. Zeno -- the name of the ancient philosopher -- reflected the past aspect of my collection, and Sync -- and modern technological term -- reflected the futuristic aspect of my collection.
So without further ado, I present to you:
In other news, in another one of my classes, I'm working on making some accessories to go with my capstone. The plan is to make an eye-shaped handbag with my EL lights, a pair of earrings with the EL lights, and a series of enamel pins that I hope to sell alongside my collection.
