Portfolio:Hemophobia

original work
Hemophobia: the fear of blood.
There is nothing attractive and nothing pretty about the word phobia. Through research I discovered that people who suffer from Hemophobia have a fear of their own, others and animals blood. In a way, this project had me written all over it; the chance to be hands-on and artistic. I wanted to find a happy medium between type and image, which 'fingers-crossed' I accomplished. 'Fear flows through me' conveys two meanings, first being that the sufferer feels a surge of fear and panic, and secondly that the source of this fear is (to put it bluntly) flowing through them. Don't worry...the sink received a good bleaching afterwards.
