Anyway... when the "only time will tell" project ended, I didn't want to stop exploring that study so I carried on with the same-but-different topic.
I took her emotion of grief and started researching more around history and culture. How did the people deal with grief in the 20th century or even before? How do different cultures deal with loss? You know, questions that would broaden my understanding on the subject. Some of my findings were amazing. So I found that, the way we grief now-a-days (in England) was set up by the Queen Victoria when she tragically lost her dear husband - Prince Albert. She felt the loss so hardly that influenced a whole nation for centuries to come! It was also very interesting to learn about the Jewish, Islamic and Christian rituals. Having read that material, I could only come up with one synthetic opinion: REGARDLESS OF THE CULTURE YOU'RE PART OF, THE USE OF RITUALS IS WHAT HELPS A PERSON, FAMILY OR COMMUNITY TO HEAL They all had that in common, in all different ways of course, but done very efficiently. From that it made me think: "so, why do humans from different backgrounds -socially and culturally - feel the same things? And the answer I found (are you ready for some cheesy moment?) - was love. "IF WE DIDN'T LOVE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THERE WOULD BE NO SENSE OF LOSS WHEN WE PART COMPANY WITH THE PERSON OR THING WE HAVE LOST" So, from the use of an individual person I thought of the bigger picture of humanity. Instead of photography, I went into painting. I also enjoy painting but never explored it. So the past few months I've been studying colours, what can they show through them? how can I make you feel something when you see it? what do they represent? So, the images below is the process of development and exploration.
