Unit 2: "Emotional Hands"
This shoot is based entirely on hands. I decided to make this my subject matter and main focus of my project because we use our hands for everything in daily life. Our hands are very important and I wanted to use them to represent emotions. However, the way I represent emotion is all interpretably different by the individual, for example, red for me represents anger, but to someone else it could represent love. Each of my shoots can be interpreted differently depending on the person, however everyone has the same common feature of the hands. I chose to do this for my project because I find it to be an interesting topic and gave me the opportunity to experiment a little and create fun and weird shoots that my audience may question as well as giving me the opportunity to exploit delicate subjects such as mental illness and suicide; over 6000 people committed suicide in 2014.
