The Anatomy of Emotional States

In Order and Chaos, Éowyn exhibits her work. It exists only in the novel. Over three photo walks, the EUMETSAT photo[art]club went looking for it.

The buildings around them were only a canvas. What they were after was what shows through: standstill, rupture, healing. The pictures are in black and white. Colour distracts. Without it, you see the bones.

The states were not instructions. They were meant to set the mood. What the photographers saw and captured along the way are their own associations.

State 1

Stasis. The Puddle of Tar

An object that can no longer move. A chair sinking into a black mass. This is what it feels like when the past will not pass.

State 2

Dissociation. The Peeling Identity

Faces with blurred edges. Cracks in surfaces that look like scars. Between what is and what one imagines.

State 3

Fragmentation. The Broken Form

Jagged edges in white walls. Next to them, something small and lost. Healing shows only where things have broken.
