A second look. A longer try
Review all the weekly shooting prompts for the first 5 weeks. Is there one previous theme that you found particularly interesting? Is there an idea or previous work you would like to extend? Is there a different approach that has occurred to you since and you would like to explore? Shoot. Review. Analyze. Edit. Critique. Re-shoot. Repeat. Don't be afraid to let your ideas evolve. It's okay if you start drifting in a new direction, into unexpected territory. This is how creative practice often works.

bodies. an objective approach.
1. inspired by a WWII museum photo of gloves in a field, bodies can be insinuated through the use of leftover belongings.
2. how is presence displayed through a lack of human bodies? What story does the lack of bodies tell about this place?
3. Incorporating the face and body through a camouflage of objects in which the face loses its identity as facial features but morphs into its surroundings.
4. body: /noun/ the physical structure of a person or animal, including the flesh, bones, and organs.
~Simply just a shape-maker~
5. object: /noun/ a material thing that can be seen and touched.
~How some people see and touch women~

This week I wanted to look at bodies through an objective approach. How can a body be implied through the use of objects? How can the body become an object? In this exploration I learned to tell personal stories while removing the traditional ways in which bodies tell their stories. In the first exploration of the body the stories that they body and pictures told were very clear. In this exploration it leaves mystery and adds a layer of ominousness. This week was particularly challenging because I normally rely on the body to tell the story of the photo through emotions and posture.
Looking at the body objectively typically strips away personal connection and gives negative connotation when bodies are objectified, however when objectifying the body into a building structure of a shape it becomes a neutral connotation instead. Comparing it to a structural object that fundamentally has no personification, yet is assigned a female gender in the French language, connotation conversations arise from a whole spectrum.
