A little "caption" or title could potentially connect the dots easily to the general public >>> Since unconventional projects such as this one tend to stay in people's mind, maybe it'll open them up to also search for emotional things in objects... oh, and since everything connects maybe it'll help them better their understanding of the human body language in people.. that would come more naturally if you can find it in an object, you can easily find it in a person. Very interesting ~
I think digging deep into why certain designs/objects evoke human emotions would be an interesting connection (that would require some basic psych)

- They do mimic human body language.. which in turn evokes certain emotional reactions to them (such as your sink head photograph, it gives a sense that it’s lonely because of it’s slouching posture and it’s “head” that’s staring downwards)

- But understanding body languages might reveal more emotional connections to certain objects (instead of simply identifying the obvious happy/sad, it would be dug deeper into a more specific feeling.. or maybe even place it in context!)

- Also, it wouldn’t make the photographs harder to decipher persay since everyone has a natural comprehension of the body language. A little “caption” or title could potentially connect the dots easily to the general public
