Outside: A Junior Narrative Diptych by Teresa Zarmer (2011)

In my photo narrative, my pictures represent a character's internal conflict, and then how that internal conflict becomes a physical problem. My first picture shows a girl in her own world behind a door, a door that she's been behind her whole life. In the second picture, she has to make a choice: to step out of her unknown world and dare become an individual, or to remain inside her safety zone. In her entire life, she has never gone against her parent's rules, so her decision to step outside is a defining one. Her internal conflict is that she's always remained in a safe zone; inside her comfort zone she's made her home and she's a very sheltered and timid person. The second picture is the pregnant pause before she decides to step outside the door and make her choice.
