UnnoticedBy Taylor Itagaki Shadows go unnoticed...just like my desire for freedom. This photograph depicts my inner self reaching for the liberty that I so deeply need. This is a corner of a mural I pass every day at school, and that word always jumps out at me. I like that you can tell I am reaching for the word free... Is it out of reach or will I finally get a hold of it? It is a suspenseful photo that catches one's attention and makes you wonder if I am going to get my freedom or not. The asymmetrical composition makes it more dynamic, and one has to look more deeply at the photo to really understand it. All my life I have felt confined, as if someone or something is holding me down. If it is not my parents ignoring my feelings and keeping me from living life the way I want to, it is everyone else judging me for being myself and not seeing why I do the things I do. Without freedom one cannot dare greatly to the best of one's ability. If I had the freedom that I so deeply want, I would feel less stressed about making others happy and I would focus more on making myself happy. Feeling as if I can not be myself all the time is tough, and my soul can not take it any longer. When looking at this photo, I hope that people notice how much I want to be set free from all the expectations I am obligated to fulfill. I'm always that one person that just goes with the flow but my inner self is exhausted from doing what everyone else wants to do and not what I want to do. I do matter, and people need to know this.
