Nelson takes hundreds of photographs of the natural world and assembles them into floating spheres that take the form of fantastical mini planets. Scroll down for more images. Nelson has described her work as open to interpretation: “I personally see my work as painting rather than photography and I refer to the tradition of landscape painting: I believe that I am painting after the images taken by my camera.” The worlds she creates are ethereal and mysterious, sometimes evoking an ominous feeling. In her “Future Memories,” as well as her other works, we are confronted with the natural world and all its raw beauty, sans human life.

Escapism. Perceptions[edit] Entire industries have sprung up to foster a growing tendency of people to remove themselves from the rigors of daily life – especially into the digital world.[3] Many activities that are normal parts of a healthy existence (e.g., eating, sleeping, exercise, sexual activity) can also become avenues of escapism when taken to extremes or out of proper context; and as a result the word "escapism" often carries a negative connotation, suggesting that escapists are unhappy, with an inability or unwillingness to connect meaningfully with the world and to take necessary action.[4] Indeed, the OED defined escapism as "The tendency to seek, or the practice of seeking, distraction from what normally has to be endured".[5] However, many challenge the idea that escapism is fundamentally and exclusively negative.

All types of social isolation can include staying home for lengthy periods of time, having no communication with family, acquaintances or friends, and/or willfully avoiding any contact with other humans when those opportunities do arise. Effects[edit] Isolation (psychology) This article is about a psychological defense mechanism. For lack of social contact, see Social isolation. Isolation (German: Isolierung) is a defence mechanism in psychoanalytic theory first proposed by Sigmund Freud. While related to repression the concept distinguishes itself in several ways. It is characterized as a mental process involving the creation of a gap between an unpleasant or threatening cognition, and other thoughts and feelings. By minimizing associative connections with other thoughts, the threatening cognition is remembered less often and is less likely to affect self-esteem or the self concept.[1] Freud illustrated the concept with the example of a person beginning a train of thought and then pausing for a moment before continuing to a different subject.

A wide range of studies supports the conclusion that people defend themselves against threats by mentally isolating them. . ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h i Baumeister, Roy F.; Karen Dale; Kristin L. Hikikomori. Quotes About Isolation (255 quotes)
