I have thought a lot about my project proposal and how it is based on ‘The feeling of being watched’ but I am having difficulty connecting with this idea as a single idea. I believe that I took the wrong approach with this and almost took photographs as the person watching even though there is no person, it is in our minds and so I feel I need to rethink this idea and make it more realistic and relatable.
As this is a symptom and side of my anxiety and a lot of people I know with anxiety, that it could be interesting to work with other anxiety symptoms such as disassociation, paranoia, over-eating/under eating, OCD, etc…
I have been looking at Joe Spence and how she uses photo therapy and puts herself in the camera and I really like how she frames and portrays her difficulties with her Breast Cancer.
When creating these images, I would like for people who also suffer with these symptoms to be able to relate to them and almost understand that they are not alone in feeling this way, there are many others and we need to be there for each other.
