Somniphobia is the abnormal and irrational fear of sleep.
This image represents Somniphobia, the fear of going to sleep. The eyes are taped open to show the desperation of not wanting and being to scared to sleep, the reason as to why they are too scared to sleep can vary. 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.
