Falling Apart (in mono) - Conceptual Still Life Photography
Reflecting on my own mood, sometimes you just feel entirely overwhelmed to the point where you feel unable to resurface emotionally. I like to (try to) throw myself into art when I'm feeling this way as an outlet. It's not always do-able, but I tend to try. Sometimes when I do, a direct replica of how I'm feeling in the moment surfaces and becomes conceptual in my photography. In this particular instance, I bonded with a flower who seemed to mirror my own emotions with how she was no longer standing strong. I'm always happy to capture moments like these, it keeps me grounded, and the bonus is that I can share something tangible that I feel most of us can relate to at some point in our lives.
I often wonder what my photography evokes in others, and whether the color versions or monochrome versions make the emotion(s) stronger, weaker, or entirely different.
