Endless Captivity: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Eleanor Thomas (2013)

The hallway and the highway are very different environments but both represent the same idea. The hallway is a simple, clean, and quiet environment that I find myself constantly stuck in. The highway is noisy, busy, and can be very dangerous. They both remind me of the feeling of stress and pressure, but also represent the ability to take me in any direction in life. Both photos also capture the idea of endlessness, but also captivity. Whether I am stuck in a school where I struggle to discover myself, or a highway that isn’t getting me home quickly enough. Each photo also connects to my entire theme for the Self-Portrait unit, because they both focus on something beautiful and mysterious off in the distance, showing the idea of wanting to explore and discover.
