First, let me show you a few examples of what I was doing before the Corona. For more: Instagram.com/burak.cloud.yildirim

Today is May of 6 2020, I have been staying at home for the last 50 days! I have never been so far from taking portraits of people. Sometimes, when I dream away about at home, there are faces that I come across. These faces sometimes smile to me, sometimes they judge me because of my thinking. I could not stay away from taking portraits, and I started to take portraits of my surprise friends looking at me from somewhere every day. Faces of Quarantine:

Today is May 6, 2020 and I have been at home for the last 50 days! I have never been so far away from taking portrait photographs of people. When I am at home daydreaming, there are sometimes faces that meet my eyes. Sometimes they smile at me, sometimes they judge me for what I think. I couldn't stay away from taking portraits, so I started taking portraits of my surprising friends who look at me from somewhere every day. Faces of Quarantine :

While researching on the internet before I shared this article, I came across this article in Bilim Fili Website. This part of the article was interesting, let me share it with you: "The emotional states of neurotic people are more ups and downs than others. And this may make them more likely to see meaningful weaves that do not actually exist. Just as some mood states may increase the tendency to see some weaves. Dr. Kitagawa says "People with high levels of positive mood score are more likely to create meaningful integrations in the visuals of dots." My friends who have a high level of positive emotion score, (I hope so :)) Do you see such faces in your Quarantine house? -_-

Before sharing this article, I was searching the internet and found this article on Science Elephant. to the article This part of the article was interesting, so I'll share it with you:

"Neurotic people are more volatile in their emotional states than others. And this can make them more prone to seeing meaningful patterns that are not there. Just as certain mood states can increase the tendency to see certain patterns. Dr. Kitagawa says, "We think that positive thinking enhances plasticity, so people with high positive mood scores are more likely to form meaningful wholes in images made up of dots."

My friends with a high positive mood score (I hope so :)) ), do you see faces like this in your quarantine house? -_-
