Throughout the project, I have been sure to stop every so often to have time to reflect on what is successful and why. I have also been sure to question what it is about what I’m doing interests me and how to use this. I began to feel more focused and drawn to how the Virgin Mary is depicted in the work I was looking at. I became sympathetic towards her due to the sorrowful and sad nature of how Mary was being conveyed. As this project is very personal to me, I thought I could convey the depiction of Mary by dressing up as her and taking photographs of myself. These are the results.
A more sinister and angry appearance to emphasise emotions. 
I liked how the contrast emphasised the shadows of my forehead – it reminded me of stories of stigmata (the appearance of bodily wounds corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ) 
Shakey look related to the emotions felt by Mary.
