Anxiety

Drowning in the sea of emotions. Anxiety traps us and strips us from freedom. The image speaks to me from the other angle too. The man looking directly into the camera takes the role of anxiety and traps your gaze because it always comes back to the central point which is the model's eyes. You keep coming back no matter where you look as if it is a never-ending circle of unbreakable anxiousness. Congratulations.

When nothing else matters and you feel trapped inside yourself, you forget the whole whole around you. The people, the love, the beauty of life. You live in this very exhausting moment and just existing while not being able to grasp the end of your misery. Great use of the hanging telephone because it symbolizes the whole beauty and meaning of life. While being an inanimate object, it translates into this living message. On the other hand, the model, a living human-being, creates this meaning of detachment, confusion and general detachment from the world. Congratulations.

The scream in our mind jail. Great use of double exposure. You can see the whole environment of a person who feels deeply anxious. Counting survived days and covering your very reality with pieces of paper. A very fragile display of human beings trying to fix something very deeply broken. The model extremelly well shows the very raw emotion of anxiety. It is as if we are screaming inside out. Congratulations.

Anxiety comes with Loneliness. Because we always have to fight it alone. The very friend of anxiety is loneliness. This image tells this heart-breaking story of the waves crashing into our minds and souls while we stand alone to fight them. We fight many battles alone and very often it is impossible to tell from the side if one is enduring pain and feelings of being lost. Great leading line composition and an interesting shallow location. Congratulations.

The mind leaves the body. The rectangle here represents a human's body and the person standing next to it - the mind. The body and the mind are disattached while existing and functioning at the same time. This is a strong side-effect when feeling anxious. The image tells me this fascinating story and makes me feel as if I am standing in front of it. The cinematic effect creates this mysterious deep sad feeling of detachment. Congratulations.

Trapped inside the mind. A strong feeling of anxiousness. These are the words that come to my mind when looking at this image. Very interesting use of the plastic material. It tanslates the image into something intangible and uncertain. Brilliant use of backlight. Although the model is stoic in their pose, it seems as if the image is set in motion. The blurred effect also strongly enhances the whole mood of the image. Congratulations.

Hands of the inner culprit. Anxiety strikes unexpectedly and chooses its' victims meticulously. This image tells a story if our inner imprisonment. This certain feeling catches us off guard and shuts us down. The more you cry and feel all kinds of mixed emotions, the more shut you become because anxiety feeds on the negativity and spreads its roots deeply inside us. The close-up shot and the grain enhances the fear and the idea that anxiety is very close to every one of us and is almost impossible to escape. Congratulations.

Closed shut from the whole world. Our reality becomes like two windows. One completely shut and the other half-closed. Showing the very bits of our inner anxiety and deep sadness. Only through narrow strips of the windows, one can notice signs of abandonment, detachment, and alienation. The yellow and blue colors shape the image into something very melancholic and it is definately cinematic. As if you can look at the very reflection of the cruel world. And it indicates the huge pile of emotions that accumulated inside our minds. Great closed-off central composition. Congratulations.

The scream inside our souls. The most extreme display of anxiety. Great use of backlight. The model fully speaks the language of this certain emotion. Interesting central composition lets us to focus on the main side-effect of anxiety. Also an interesting use of the light trail behind the model's head because it envisions how anxiety strikes our minds - rapid and sharp. Congratulations.
