"As meditation techniques and biofeedback have shown, the mind can learn to conquer pain. This is particularly true in moments of crisis or exaltation, when concentrating on something outside oneself seems to distract the mind from the body, and the body from suffering and time."

-Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses, page 101

Statement:

This image was created to show the raw emotions that come with pain and wanting to scream in order to release those pains. The image is created using multiple shots from the same spot and blended them all together to create motion. This is the sense of touch by experience of pain. we all experience pain and have to learn how to endure and cope with these pains in any time of situation that life gives us.

"One need only watch the body whims of a house cat rubbing and wrapping itself around its owner's leg, or the courting of two giraffes thwacking their long necks together."

-Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses, page 98

Statement:

This image was created using multiple strips of magazines cut outs to create a silhouette of a lion. This being the top of the animal kingdom and a precious large cat. Like house cats lions are cuddlers and rub their heads up against one another as an affiliative behavior. The Lion is a colorful animal in the sense that it has many caring traits within the pride and can also be a very aggressive animal the reason I chose to show the different attributes to the lion with an array of colors.
