I think this photo really conveys my feelings in my darkest moments, and I think the red tones really exemplify that. The picture of myself is filtered to make it look like I've been sketched on, which I feel represents how I feel almost unreal at times, like I could float away. I put a picture of a flower over my mouth, which sort of represents how I often cover up how I feel with humor and diversion. The background is a picture through my bedroom door with the sun coming in through the curtains, with a picture of the sun rising subtly overlayed on top of it. This really represents the hope of the future, and the comfort I find in my own home. Because of these reasons, this photo is titled "Words of a Ragged Sailor", because the flower covering my mouth is common chicory, sometimes known as "ragged sailor".
The photo I used to overlay on top of my selfie was that of the sunset outside of my bedroom window. I really think the color scheme speaks of me, and the darkness of the clouds drifting over the serene corals and pinks of the sky I think really represent how darkness drifts in and out of my perception as I drift through life myself. While the selfie, I'll admit, isn't as dramatic as the other one, I find it to me more personal, like I'm looking directly at the viewer and seeing them. There are a few editing mistakes (I'm sure you can see them), but I think that the content of the photo is enough to draw away from them. Also, small thing, I really like how the moon lined up perfectly with the crease of my mouth. It looks like a little dimple.
