Sensory Ethnography 3 - Holly




Holly, 19 years old

Been there done that, seen it all before. Aware of the dangers, yet naive towards the consequences. To wait or not to wait, a mad dash across the road is alarmed by the sound of a car’s high pitch horn beeping. Car engines, sirens and peoples chatter and talk fills every inch of every street. A soft humming like noise rumbles through the streets as a large truck approaches, a gust of wind rushes through her hair sending shivers down her spine, followed by an ever dulling sound of the vicious rumble. The suspense after the storm.

The main things i noticed with holly, is that although she is 19, and old enough to know the dangers, she is still very naive to the dangers as she would quite happily j-walk in front of traffic. She too had connections to memories of her childhood, much like the younger boys, however hers was linked to noise.
