Photography is not really my favourite art medium but this immediately caught my eye as I was browsing your gallery.
To begin with composition, I think that it's clean, simple and elegant. Besides the fact that the model is beautiful, she succeeds in expressing subtle but strong emotions and her leaning slightly off centre contributes to the intended point.
I especially like the juxtaposition between the stillness of the model and the different tone in each frame that , to me, shows the "passing of days". I also like the fact that you chose the word "days" rather than "time". It seems to intensify the feeling of loss as you can count the days, the possibilities slipping through your fingers in a way that an abstract term like "time" could not.
Let me note that your username might make an apt title for this piece. "Monitored" because there's a photograph for everyone to see (even though her averted gaze refuses to acknowledge her watcher or much else for that matter) and "apathy" because your model seems oblivious to the changes that the different tones you use represent. She appears completely detached and apathetic towards her shifting surroundings and circumstances. As you say yourself in your comment, hours, days and years "melt" into an abstract, undefinable and uncontrollable flow of time and she is yet the same - perhaps feeling a hint of ennui - the point I mentioned before!
All in all, it is a beautiful and moving piece of art and seems to fit your ID perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I'm an English lit major which is probably why I paid so much attention to the words around your work. I hope you still find this useful!
