I really tried to organize these like a story, but also aesthetically. Honestly, I have no idea how organizing photos work, but I feel like most of these go together at least a little. Many of them are about about being inside, becoming overly and unpleasantly self aware of my bad habits and generally who I am. A lot of them feel uncomfortable. I don't really like looking at them, but I've realized throughout this whole pandemic that I have bad habits and I don't know how to break them. Some of them are my habits, some are my roommates, and some are my sisters / family. My mind gets so lost sometimes and I feel like I have no control, because I've been doing the same things for years. I'm annoyed with myself, but I'm trying to be better and get better and become more at peace with life. I think. 
I can see how you were trying to express being inside and showing your bad habits throughout these images. You can really see it through images 2,3,4,6,7,8,9. Images 2,4,6,9 feel like you are trying to express being stuck at home by showing your bed in a way that depicts it was currently used, house plants, slippers, and various other objects you use at home. Images 3 and 7 feel like you are tying to express bag habits by displaying water in the shower and the use of plastic wrap. Image 8 feels like a little bit of both because the kitchen feels homey in the sense that you cannot go out for food right now but the light is on which could display a bad habit of never turning off the lights.(i don't know if I am accurate in saying that or not that is what it feels like to me) With all that being said the first image is the one I am drawn to, I like how the house is secluded and almost completely hidden, it gives a peaceful feel to the image. It in a way depicts how we have to be secluded during this time and despite being stuck at home it can be somewhat peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the bathtub photo. The photo is essentially monochromatic, but the lighting, especially the highlights make the photo very interesting. I also like the photo of the meat being cling wrapped, which is also mostly monochromatic. There is something so gross but interesting and beautiful about it that I really enjoy. Overall I like the narrative aspect of the first series that seems almost hopeful and optimistic, yet also seem to show a narrative of simply continuing on and surviving. I think they might be stronger together if they were all the same crop ratio.
