3) Lonely
4) This image embodies loneliness to me due to the isolation of the man and vast openness of the surrounding environment. Because the person is so far away, the dock gives perspective, and the horizon is extremely broad; there is an overwhelming feeling of isolation, with which I associate loneliness. Also, being at the end of the long dock, all that is before the person is deep water; water provides a vast amount of the unknown, which also evokes loneliness. The fact that this image is black and white gives a subdued and almost hopeless sensation/vibe, especially since the black and whiteness colors the fact that this man could be jumping into the water to drown himself. This picture pulls me in, but with a negative connotation since I’m immediately drawn to the man standing alone. Though this picture expresses loneliness, I also think it’s beautiful in it’s sadness.
