Final Project - Eli Shovan

I wanted to capture the idea that particularly strong feelings and negative emotions can affect the way we see the world and, in change, the way the world sees us as a person. A lot of times we never see people struggling, we only see their smiles. There are a lot of times where I find myself feeling that I have little effect on the world around me, that I'm a shell of myself, a ghost. I'm not the only person that struggles with this, and I wanted to create a series of images that force the viewer to ponder the emotions I'm creating in these photographs.
