Possible final pictures and its story line. 
When I was taking these pictures, I did not think of a story line and was simply focusing on the theme of emotions, which is why I came back to them now to connect the two parts and give them a text.

Cropping:
As I said in my previous blog posts, cropping of images was not my favourite activity, thinking that the photography looses its importance, but now, I tried to work with the cropping as a part of the process, trasnforming the original pictures into new ones, although they are still the same pictures.
Picture n.1: with this picture, I tried to focus on the emotion of horror and anxiety. Of course, because my work is still slighty turning to feminism, I connected the text/story to a traumatic experience between the female and male. ,,she feels trapped in the horror of the past, she feels anxious to look him in the eyes” representing an experience where the female was either physically or mentally hurt by the male ‘protagonist’.

Picture n.2: The second photo connects to an emotion of pain and helplessness. It focuses on the idea of not being able to be heard when calling for help. ,,how does it feel, screaming in pain in a sound proof body” Connects to the previous photography, the photo also responds to the helpless moment of needing help, not knowing where to search for it.

Picture n.3: Third picture doesn’t really represent an emotion, but the idea of some. Joy, Happiness, Love etc. The picture continues the story of a female not being treated right in a relationship. The emotions of love, happiness and joy were taken with all the abuse for example. ,,the emotions she used to cherish were taken away by someone that didn’t know how to treat her right”.

Picture n.4: Representing fear, the fourth picture also continues the storyline with a simple line ,,he is here, and she has nowhere to escape”. This line could be seen as literal but also not so much… this line also connects to having a thought about that particular person in their head, knowing that the thought cant leave one’s mind so easily… connecting to the fact that she has nowhere to escape.

Picture n.5: Finishing the series with a turning point/contrast is the fifth picture. In this one, the female fights her own fear and stands up to him, feeling satisfaction of being the winner this time, not letting the male win. ,,The satisfaction she feels, after hiding her fear, and wining the game”.
