Description
one of my biggest fears, is that i will never really be known, that there is nobody out there who truly understands what i'm about.the concept at first was going to be about claustrophobia, but once it was done, i figured the image is a more accurate reflection of how i see myself in the world.
i told my friends today about this idea, and all but one told me i was weird, i don't think it's about being weird or not, photography to me is my way of expressing myself, through unusual, different ways. i see the world differently, i don't think it's fair that i should be labelled weird for that.
yes this is me, and yes... i did paper mache my head. and yes, it was terrifying.

- DD!!!! I'm stunned, I have never had one of these! Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to view my work, it is greatly appreciated.

Wow. It looks calm and brutal at the same time, hard time to find words to explain how. But it think it looks raw and very awesome!

To me this shows the influence of the news/media on peoples opinions.

i love that idea, infact the initial concept was going to be quite similar, but then it turned into claustrophobia, and then the idea of self reflection.

I think claustrophobia could fit into it, maybe like the news smothering you with information.

I really know what you mean, and you really don't deserve to be called weird for expressing yourself. I also have the same fear

Thank you! It's comforting to know i'm not the only one who feels this way, i'm sure there's lots of us out there.

True and by the way I think your photography is very unique, I never say such originality and creativity and expression in photography before until I saw yours, I really connect to some of your art

I actually think the fear of not being understood is not that far from claustrophobia - both are centered around isolation and being confined, alone, in a small space, be it a room or your own little world. What I mean is, I think your piece has captured both concepts perfectly. Great work!

Thank you, I know what you mean, I guess they are very similar concepts.

Just to be clear, the fear you mentioned is very familiar to me. That's part of the reason I enjoyed your piece so much - I knew you understood. And you're welcome.
