Natural Vs. Fantasy: I have a fear of heights, but I didn't not expect to be so scared while sitting on the ledge of my home. I'm in my pajamas to represent myself in my most relaxed and vulnerable state which most people are in their homes. However, sitting on the ledge is a representation of fear even within a place where I am most vulnerable and am supposed to feel the most safe; that is why I chose to do a more dark and contrasted naturalistic portrait of myself. Even if it may not look like I am fearful, maybe and hopefully to evoke that feeling of fear and my fantasy may look completely opposite, but it is supposed to derive off of something I am afraid of within my home and show myself at a relaxed and peaceful state surrounded by nature. I wanted to show that side for fantasy to show how no matter what, my home is my safe haven and the place where I can be relaxed/vulnerable despite what I may fear.
