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 4

Transformation. The Benu Bird

Points of light. A butterfly, a pearl-bordered fritillary. Something golden in the grey. The hard lines begin to soften.

State 5

The Song of the Sea. Grief and Solace

Rain striking so hard you can taste the salt. A wave towering over everything. The shadow of a hammock. Past and present in the same picture.

State 6

Integration. The Breathing Core

A space of wood and glass, full of light. Roots hanging in the air. The Welwitschia, a desert plant that can live for more than a thousand years. A fire to sit around.
