These photographs (found on the internet) are all quite sensual in various ways, expressing more about emotions than just the figure/portrait, in terms of the female identity. Below,I gave every one of them a narrative from my own perception.
- 'the heart on the rail track'
emotions expressed: lost, confused, heartbroken...
- 'dancing with herself',
expression of the 'self', embracing a 'new life'
- 'the game of choices'
no matter what you choose, it turns out to be a game; even if it is a game, you have to make a choice... over and over again. (specifically about choices the female has to make?)
- 'the broken tape'
why is the memory so painful? why getting rid of it is even worse?
vulnerablity of femininity
- this one feels different from the above ones,
like...a hybrid state of femininity? one is the expression of femininity, the other is a de-construction of femininity,at least seems to be so for me.
- a girl in white dress, sitting one the spiral staircase, with bare feet, and in sorrow.
White hints the notion of 'purism', which is some times an interpretation of femininity. and bare feet? especially with the presence of her shoes. Her posture suggests a state of vulnerablity.
- 'the grasp'
the desperate wanting hand, to grasp, yet perhaps getting nothing.
seems she doesn't want me (the viewer), what she wants? makes people wonder. and the constrast of focus and blur works very well in this photograph. there is no emphasis on the individual identity other than the female identity.
- a girl with daisy
the only portrait which sees the face clearly, however, somehow is also the weakest in the expression of emotions. Her eyes tells most of the story, where there is confusion, but also hope and aspiration.
