Social Alienation


This picture represents an individual's alienation from the social world. Collin is siting on the couch alone looking at a door; which symbolizes all the social opportunities that could exist. The point of view shows that the room is empty and has no connection to the outside world; i.e cell phone, computer, television. We wanted the viewer to get a complete sense of emptiness and alienation.

We choose neutral colors with low intensity for this photo,because generally neutral colors lack excitement.In many ways the choice of color in this picture reflects the individual's alienation with people and the lack of intensity in the colors leaves the viewer with a feeling of emptiness similar to that of feeling lonely. The solid walls are like the ones we put up to protect ourselves in everyday social life; another obstacle that can lead to feeling or being alienated.

We wanted the picture to incorporate as less room space as possible to show that you don not need anything to alienate yourself.
