Visual Reflection: Happiness and joy
Many people find it difficult to be happy and struggle to create their definition of
happiness, don’t you wonder why? People seem to not consider everyday life. Nor Everyday
moments. However, I found this picture an excellent example of defining happiness in my
personal opinion.
This picture helps me define happiness is because it reminds me of a very happy
moment in my life. It does that because it’s taken at the beach because I can see water, during
the sunset due to the look of the sun going down, and the people in the picture seem happy
and cheerful. They are dancing and jumping happily. The memory of mine is about the last time
I and my family went to the beach in Turkey right before we come to Canada. That day is one of
my favorite days, that’s why I instantly remembered it after I saw the picture. The composition
of the picture allows me to focus on how the people in it seem to be close to each other and
jumping happily. The photographer was able to include the context they desired in the picture
to show us that these people in the picture are close to each other. Might be friends or family
members. That’s why I related it to my last visit to the beach in Turkey with my family and how
happy we were. The sunset in the picture gives me a feeling of warmth, the photographer was
able to use the sunlight as a perfect backlight and the clear sky with beautiful clouds on the left
side of the picture proved to me a feeling of peace. It’s because I spent a similar time with my
only family. On that day of my life, we stayed on the beach till the sunset just like the people in
the picture, and enjoyed the view. The picture gives me a powerful feeling to keep going and
that’s because of the poses of the people in it. They are confident, happy, fearless, and full of
joy.
My definition of happiness at the moment and considering them carefully. Our every
moment is significant to present happiness or its opposite to us. Pictures like this might seem
very simple and referred to as “a picture at the beach” but for me, it is a resemblance of a very
happy moment in my life.
