Body Language

Human beings are very susceptible to body language. We subconsciously are able to read and understand messages of the body. Our bodies relate and react to different environments since it plays a major role in our everyday lives. We use our bodies to relate to other human beings physically, mentally, and emotionally. With or without words, we are able to sense what others may be truly feeling or thinking. Human beings are able to understand different messages based on specific notions people make everyday. For my project, I want to find a way to visually express the language of the human body.

I chose body language as my source because I want to study the difference in people in relation to others and the environment around them. I am interested in the different emotions, gestures, and expressions of human communication. For this project, I want to capture parts of the body that display anticipation, anxiousness, and the feeling of expecting something to arrive. I want the viewer to wonder what is happening, and what is going to happen. This way, the viewer can create his or her own situations by reading the limited information I’ve captured of the human body.
