Bride

Observing this image made me think that the bride got stood up and her groom never showed up to the wedding not even to give her an explanation. This photograph generated this reflection because the bride looks extremely gloomy and her expression is blank, without emotion. Her expression to me means that she's shocked beyond believe because she can't accept that the man she loves didn't marry her. She's does not care anymore because her hair is ruined and the flowers she's holding are all dried up. These two elements portray that she's devastated, sad, miserable and hollow. Just like the flowers she's also dry inside and destroyed like her hair. Any woman that loses the man she loves feels destroyed inside because she feels lost without her soul mate, friend, and companion. It's not easy to lose such an important part of your life, it's almost as if your whole life shatters right before your eyes for a moment. Of course, that as time goes on you'll move on but for that moment you will feel like not existing until the unbearable feeling goes away. Memories of the person you adore won’t disappear over night or in couple of days but eventually you‘ll think less of him. I think she definitely feels lonely, and one way that the photograph shows this is that there is no one in the background only places and things, but no people. It seems that she's completely alone in her pain and there is no one there to support her.
