Photography and original concept - me

ok, so this is isolation.
part of human nature series (not yet completed though), just like wrapped. I think you can see why.

The material used to isolate her from the world is aluminiumfoil. If you wonder why I used this, you might ask her how good it works as isolation

I put her arms against her body because when you isolate yourself from the rest of the world, you will reach a point where you stand emptyhanded and find yourself in a pretty peculiar situation.

The legs are put together for that reason too, even though this is more of a reaction to the point where you stand emptyhanded. When you rach that moment, the only option is to run away, but you'll find out soon enough that that is not possible.

for the rest of it, pretty much the same basic thought as in Wrapped, people should open up and be more vulnerable.

One could also say that being wrapped up like this is a form of vulnerability aswell. This way you're kind of helpless and anybody can hurt you and you won't see it coming.

Interested concept this wrapping of you. On all kinds of fields, really.

yes, that is true, but the point is people dont see that. not when they are at it. later on, after they stepped out of that situation, they finally realise that.
btw, that is why i wrapped the legs and arms togtether with the body

and thanks a lot

ohhh.. i like this one best of the three actually i think the distance from the border&her feet just furthers the idea of isolation perrrsonally..
and for the life of me, i can't even really touch alumnium foil without tearing it~ heehee..

thats only one roll? wow. i bet it was XD did you use glue or tape, or did it just happen to stick on its own long enough for the picture?

nevaira In reply to spookythrill [2004-12-29 07:44:32 +0000 UTC]

no, i just pushed it together, but did that on the back, so you cant see it... otherwise it would be very very ugly

Most people protects themselves by shunting what is outside... they form a protective shield around themselves, afraid to be hurt, violated or intruded.... nice concept. But is there a way out of this condition? Is the victim self contained to an extent that he is not going to see light?

nevaira In reply to southercomfort [2004-12-29 10:53:52 +0000 UTC]

no, of course there is a way out. at a certain point people will start to realise this is not who they are.
it might be hard to change, but they really really should. if people dont accept you for who you are, they are not worth your friendship.
the way out is just to say what you think and not to hide from the truth or your real self.

alright, some (hopefully) helpful critiquing...

I'd crop the black at her feet a little bit to center the image more, to bring her closer.

that's enough of that. now praises.

I congratulate you on your aluminum-foil-wrapping technique; it must have been a bit challenging.

the description is great, once again.

this reminds me of a Bjork music video... Cocoon...

never seen the video... the foil wrapping was pretty fucked up to do, as it kept falling appart, and we didnt have enough foil... =S but it worked out pretty alright i guess...

about the crop, i prefer it this way. its been done intentionally, as i wanted all 3 pieces to have an etire different crop and composition... and it shows how big the world around her really is. so...

Mmm deze serie gaat me bevallen, deze vind ik ook erg goed uitgebeeld, als ik het zelf had gedaan zou ik haar zittend in een hoekje gezet hebben omdat als je je zelf isoleert je meestal ook bang bent van de buitenwereld, hier krijg ik het idee dat ze er nog teveel midden in staat maargoed je hebt voor alles een goede reden duz is het zo ook oke!
