Aichmophobia is a very specific phobia, the morbid fear of sharp objects.
This image represents Aichmophobia, the fear of sharp objects. The knife is pressed against the skin to try and invoke fear. Some people may not that this phobia seriously as it is said to be an irrational fear, but for someone who may suffer from it, it can have a huge impact on their life. An 'irrational' phobia is a phobia.
I want the viewer to feel uncomfortable or unsettled when they look at the image. I want this because whether it's an irrational fear or not, the viewer may feel the smallest amount of discomfort that people with this phobia may feel. This is how I hope to make all of my images for this project.
Aichmirós.
