HOLD STILL
CRITICAL LINK
My critical link for this project focuses on the work of Olivia Arthur and how she foreshadow's and portrays how the global pandemic has affected individuals mental health and the way in which they cope. I developed a series of images that reflect this.
I have levelled all of my photographs, as well as making them black and white. I did this as i wanted to outline how the pandemic has brought a series of darkness to everyone's lives. The purpose of having only one piece of paper with tasks that need completing, is that it represent's the amount of stress that will be given to that individual in a day.
CRITICAL LINK 2
For this shoot i photographed an apple decaying everyday for a week. On the first day i photographed the apple looking fresh and appealing. However, as the day's progress, the apple slowly starts to look unappealing and worn-out. This foreshadows how individuals are progressing throughout the pandemic. People went into lockdown feeling energetic and refreshed as it meant they could have time off work. However, by the end of lockdown, they not only look but feel mentally exhausted and depressed due to the long period they have spent in doors.
