We see a near-empty lecture hall prior to a lecture starting. The ceiling is high, and the seats are empty despite there being a large number of them. A sole figure sits in the upper rows. Closer to the photographer than the rest of the figures in the series, but still turned away not paying any attention. There is no one in the front lecturing. The photographer is, again, alone even when there are others present

 

CAPSTONE:

In the first album this photograph represented solitude and feeling separate from those around them, but for this capstone album I'm choosing to recontextualize it as a photograph demonstrating my time in higher education. I'm very grateful to be in a position where I am able to pursue a college degree, for my mother it was an incredibly struggle to go to college between being in an unsupportive environment and being entirely self-reliant. Where I in that position I know I would not be able to pursue higher education. Instead, I've been entirely supported through scholarships, loans, and family support which allows me to study what I like with little stress- I'm incredibly lucky to be in college and for that I am deeply grateful.
