This project was based on the brief 'Environment', I chose to go with a woman's environment and a suppressive relationship. The plants represent how free she is, the less plants the less control and freedom she has over her own life. I was very much inspired by the video 'what would happen to the world if humans disappeared?' for my set. I wanted to use a black female to give them some representation in abusive relationships,  I do believe some people are insensitive enough to believe that black females don't get abused from their partners because they are always seen as 'strong independent women' however all women can be hurt. I also sequenced these images so that if you were to reverse the sequence it would show how she was in an abusive relationship but got her self free. I do feel like this project was very much inspired by feminism and the unity of nature to the female being.
