People seemed generally engaged with the topic. Some interesting discussion and points to consider:
- Why stage the backgrounds? Why not just use real pics?
- Why stage at all? Why not just take pictures of your real grief in the moment
- Hidden grief, caught on camera
Potentially a series?
Update
- Feels like maybe two series - one "caught on camera" about how grief is hidden in society, and is only shown when 'caught' perhaps with fun titles relating to situation e.g. supermarket "Clean up on alse 1". One a series of 'grief moments' with different 'classifications' - not showing me, but rather showing a melting figure?
- Why am I staging these? Maybe some discomfort in creating a 'raw' image, but mainly desire for them to carry a meaning beyond just recording what happened - they are not a record of my grief, they are a commentary on how society approaches and talks (or doesn't talk) about grief
