Photo captured at the Freshwater Lagoon. Humboldt Lagoons State Park. Humboldt County. Early May 2013.
In my three reflections photos I chose to do both a literal and conceptual theme. This picture is of me but I am split into two pieces. Most the time I feel like I live two different lives. Whether it be between work and school, 23 or old married woman, or grown up or young. I felt like I was successful at representing this.
"Crimson Soliloquy," my intention was to capture a moment of profound introspection and the complex interplay of light and emotion within a confined space. This piece explores the feeling of being simultaneously exposed and isolated, enveloped by an environment that seems to both embrace and overwhelm. The dominant, rich crimson hue of the foreground and surrounding space creates a visceral, almost emotional saturation, drawing the viewer into an intimate world.
The figure, illuminated by strong backlighting from a large window or light source, sits in a contemplative pose, their eyes closed or cast downwards, suggesting a deep internal moment. The stark contrasts between light and shadow, particularly the way the light illuminates their legs and body while their face remains partially obscured, emphasize the introspective nature of the scene. The distressed texture of the wall on the left adds a raw, vulnerable quality, hinting at imperfections or a history of wear. It's about the beauty in vulnerability, the power of personal reflection, and the way light can sculpt an emotional landscape within a simple setting.

Is emotional safety helping us—or quietly limiting how deeply we feel?
In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores the tension between emotional safety and emotional depth. While protection and boundaries matter, some emotions only emerge when there’s risk involved.
A calm reflection on vulnerability, feeling, and modern emotional life.
SCRIPT:
Emotional safety matters.
Being protected.
Being respected.
Not being exposed unnecessarily.
But safety also narrows the range
of what we’re willing to feel.
We learn to stay measured.
To speak carefully.
To avoid emotions
that might make things messy
or unpredictable.
And over time,
depth can start to fade—
not because we feel less,
but because we allow ourselves
less room to go there.
Some emotions only exist
when there’s risk involved.
Love that could be lost.
Honesty that could cost something.
Emotional safety protects us.
But emotional depth
often asks
what we’re willing to feel
without guarantees.

I love photography. Ironically, I used to hate camera for no real reason. I don't know how to describe myself, hopefully the picture will explain itself.
