Masks are the best way to show "camouflage".

People who are anxious about their appearance are often unsure of themselves and will try to alleviate this emotional anxiety by covering their face (showing only their eyes). Facial coverings can be hands, hats or masks

Historically, women have made significant contributions across various fields, but their achievements were often overshadowed, uncredited, or attributed to their male counterparts. Here are some examples where the contributions of women were relegated to the background:

1. Science and Mathematics:

Rosalind Franklin: She was instrumental in discovering the double-helix structure of DNA. However, her male colleagues, Watson and Crick, received most of the credit and the Nobel Prize.

Mary Cartwright: A pioneering mathematician whose work was crucial in nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear dynamics but is often overshadowed by male counterparts.

2. Technology and Engineering:

Hedy Lamarr: Besides being a famous Hollywood actress, Lamarr co-invented a frequency-hopping signal technology, a precursor to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For many years, her technological contribution was largely unrecognized.

The ENIAC Programmers: Six women programmed the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, ENIAC, but weren’t recognized for decades.

3. Arts and Literature:

The Brontë Sisters: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë initially published their literary works under male pseudonyms due to the prevailing belief that women writers were inferior.

Alma Reville: The wife of Alfred Hitchcock, who contributed significantly to his films’ scripts and editing, often without formal recognition.

4. Space and Astronomy:

Katherine Johnson: A NASA mathematician who played a crucial role in the success of Apollo missions. Her story, along with other Black female mathematicians at NASA, was brought to light in the book and film “Hidden Figures.”

Jocelyn Bell Burnell: Discovered radio pulsars but was overlooked when her male colleagues received the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery.

5. Social and Political Movements:

Coretta Scott King: While Martin Luther King Jr. is widely celebrated for his role in the American civil rights movement, the contributions of his wife, Coretta, who was also an activist and civil rights leader, are often overshadowed.

Women of the Suffrage Movement: Though some prominent figures are celebrated, many women who were essential in the fight for voting rights remain nameless in history.

6. Medicine:

Elizabeth Blackwell: The first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States and founded a medical school for women but is not as widely remembered as her male contemporaries.

Each of these women made significant contributions in their respective fields. The reclamation and acknowledgment of their work and impact, often overlooked in historical records, is a crucial aspect of revising and giving a complete picture of history, emphasizing the role of women in shaping our world.

Hands and face were the elements I wanted to use the most, and the theme still focuses on look anxiety. Look anxiety is mainly about the fear of being judged, blamed, not being confident in your looks, and wanting to look perfect under your own control!

Final work and reflection

perfect and colourful peach in the supermarket like other people in appearance anxiety people view

but what the side behind that we can't see

Reflection of resource

The images recorded by the lens can help people to record and trigger memories. Due to the different social and cultural backgrounds and family education environments, each person's views and reflections on things are not used, just as each person will have different evaluations of images as good or bad.

When we see an image, our feelings and evaluations are largely one-sided and one-dimensional, because if we don't go in-depth to understand the creative intention behind the image, and don't search for the story behind the image, we won't really understand the photographer's creation.

Through this article, I learnt not to think one-sidedly and unilaterally, but to have the ability to process information and search for knowledge!

These are three manipulated photographs who influenced my work. The combination of different varieties of fruits inspired me on how to create a piece, a piece that would show the inner environment of the look-anxious person - feeling different from everyone else. Is it possible to incorporate different elements within a group of the same, such as adding a few pears to a basket of apples?ect… The type of fruit used to show an unhealthy mental state is still under consideration.

Photographes between week 4

first concept and rational

I want to creat a multi photo that can show portray a problem prevalent in GinZ in modern society - appearance anxiety. Appearance anxiety is a very common psychological problem, and according to a survey, more than 67% of young and middle-aged people suffer from this psychological problem. The mortality rate of seemingly unimportant psychological problems is more than 37%, and appearance anxiety is the most important trigger of depression in teenagers.

processing testing

In image manipulation, I tested different colours or black and white filter overlays, I wanted to make the contrast of colours more visible and striking.

Piecing together Vivian Maier’s life can easily evoke Churchill’s famous quote about the vast land of Tsars and commissars that lay to the east. A person who fit the stereotypical European sensibilities of an independent liberated woman, accent and all, yet born in New York City. Someone who was intensely guarded and private, Vivian could be counted on to feistily preach her own very liberal worldview to anyone who cared to listen, or didn’t. Decidedly unmaterialistic, Vivian would come to amass a group of storage lockers stuffed to the brim with found items, art books, newspaper clippings, home films, as well as political tchotchkes and knick-knacks. The story of this nanny who has now wowed the world with her photography, and who incidentally recorded some of the most interesting marvels and peculiarities of Urban America in the second half of the twentieth century is seemingly beyond belief.

An American of French and Austro-Hungarian extraction, Vivian bounced between Europe and the United States before coming back to New York City in 1951. Having picked up photography just two years earlier, she would comb the streets of the Big Apple refining her artistic craft. By 1956 Vivian left the East Coast for Chicago, where she’d spend most of the rest of her life working as a caregiver. In her leisure Vivian would shoot photos that she zealously hid from the eyes of others. Taking snapshots into the late 1990′s, Maier would leave behind a body of work comprising over 100,000 negatives. Additionally Vivian’s passion for documenting extended to a series of homemade documentary films and audio recordings.
