A class project

I did a short documentary last year on my transition. This year I wanted to continue with it but make it more of interactive approach to my emotions. I created a website:
CHEMISTRY

As I explain on the website "This is my exploration into the visualization of emotion, specifically, the effects of testosterone on emotions. The project pulls from the somatic theories of emotion. Somatic theory suggests that emotions rely on bodily responses rather than judgement. Since starting hormone therapy I would have to agree. My emotions are either manifested by physical reactions or intensified by these reactions. All these emotions have a visual context within my mind. I want to represent the most primal and frequent emotions I have visually."

*a function note be careful rolling over the emotions... once inside an emotion if you roll over any of the others... the audio will shut off on that emotion. The audio clips with each one are about 2 minutes so if it stops just click on it again.
