Sorrow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It spread like a disease.

Slowly taking over, slowly consuming everything its path.

 

 

 This series is going to be part of a larger series I plan on doing where emotions are portrayed with paint. For this set of photos I used black to represent sorrow. I chose black because it's a dark, dramatic color that also has an emptiness to it. I painted it as such to demonstrate how it spreads and can slowly consume someone. The connection I made to this was the sense of becoming numb after something felt like it destroyed me. But I want viewers to connect their own experiences to it and say 'oh, I've felt that way before'. I might re shoot this since it was brought to my attention more dramatic lighting would help as well as painting my face from top to bottom.
