Habitation - final piece

Once I had my ideas and concept clarified through drawings and sketches. I took my own portrait photographs with lights hitting my model from both sides. I used a mix of colours to represent emotions, red for anger, mixed with blue for sadness and then orange for confidence, yellow for happiness and finally green for disgust and purple for fear. I cut my photographs up into different sections and I merged them with each other so all the emotions were mixed together giving a feeling of confusion, fear and panic. I felt this mirrored how people were feeling during lockdown. I took more pictures of houses ranging from flats to terraced to large detached houses. I wanted to show that it didn’t matter what sort of habitat you lived in, we are all in the same state of isolation and confinement within our own habitations. Once printed, I created lots of boxes out of the photographs and layered these boxes on top of each other, I wanted to show some boxes stacked in a uniform and regimented way but to also show some boxes fallen and broken away from the other boxes. This further represents the feeling of confinement, lack of control and despair.
