One of the concepts of Postmodernism of the individual that we learned in class was that we cannot escape the "system" and that we have to find a way to expand in a limited space. I was kind of sad to hear this at first, because I would have liked to continue thinking that there are no limits to what someone can do. However, after thinking about it more, I can now understand how there are some limits.
I realized this through a connection to the reality TV show Project Runway. Fashion designers are given challenges that often require the contestants to be innovative. Sometimes they are given unconventional materials, such as paper, materials in a grocery store, or anything in a flower shop. These challenges are all about how well an individual can "find a strategy within the system" to create, while still allowing themselves to think outside of the box in making something that stays true to their own unique style.
