The goal of this project was to capture a series of portraits of different emotions from the individual being photographed, overlaid into one image. According to Robert Plutchik's theory, there are eight basic types of emotions: Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy, Disgust, Surprise, Trust, and Anticipation. I interviewed the individuals and asked them to recall memories that evoke different emotions and then proceeded to capture those moments and combine the photographs, composed in the likeness of cubism, to try and encapsulate as best possible the whole of the individual and their experiences through time and space.
