Ominous feeling of a full moon

Silence of forest

Silence/eeriness of night

Long road trip

Approaching storm

Calmness of sunset

Eeriness of dark road

Spookiness of dark stairs/rooms

Packing/vacation

Illness

Movie night

Going out in the cold

Confusion/mix of anticipated textures
Themes:
Many of the images included in this post are natural settings. This kind of supports the feeling that nature can be both beautiful and unsettling depending on the moments and the position in which it is viewed.

Possible Artistic Ramifications:

  • These pictures can be used to make the viewer feel as though they were actually present at the scene
  • The pictures could be combined in a way that it makes a narrative through the scenes
  • Many of these could be used as backgrounds to showcase something related to each moment
  • Duane Hanson's sculptures are much like these pictures because his life-like statues have a very strong psychological effect on the viewers
