Project One: Emotions

Humans are constantly learning, growing, and evolving. I believe it's good to take time to reflect on how you have changed as a human. I believe it is beneficial to one's further growth to look inward. I have been going through a season of change in my life. With this first project, my goal was to use two photos to convey an emotion that I have been feeling lately. For me, creating these photos helped me learn about myself. I was forced to face how I feel. Normally I am tend to hide my emotions from myself. I would rather not think about the reality of my life. However, after doing this first project, I found I held a sense of relief after I showed them to my class. I felt that it was okay to feel these emotions and to have these thoughts. My hope is that the viewers are able to connect with these images, and perhaps admit, and release some of their own feelings that they may be hiding within themselves.

Technical things: some of these images did not come out the way that I initially intended them to. However, I do find meaning in all of them.
