My Body of Work: "No Regrets"

My artwork is representational of an emotional journey. In comparison it is not a representation of me- a self portrait, I merely used myself to model the emotion I wanted to express (anyone could have been the subject).
It goes through the very possible stages of a suffering individual.
The first one is very vulnerable looking compared to the rest; the figure is looking looking down and essentially fades into the background of the artwork, the door is in contrast prominent and infront of the figure.
The mood is then suddenly changed in the second artwork, it becomes confronting and slightly unstable with the figure's concerned face, yet within the eyes there is a moment of certainty. Everything is more dramatic with the increased scale.
Then, straight away again the mood shifts to something that resembles instability and an ultimate loss of control, a display of distress. The third one presents this complete change through the change in composition with the strong diagonals, and the larger focus on the figure resembling something quite Baroque styled.
Finally, the last artwork regains the glimpse of control seen in the second one. There is certainty within the face and a sense of stability. The diagonals are gone, and the face is half cast in the light and dark. Here the suffering is being left behind, whether or not it will happen in the future is irrelevant, the individual has overcome an instance of being stuck in a moment and has grown in character because of it, and therefore that suffering will always be a part of them but with "No Regrets" ("Teenage Dream" Katy Perry)
