"Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable." - The Enneagram Institute

Question: How can I portray the role of the enneagram in one’s inner self?




 As I experimented with how I was to go about      portraying this type, I kept in mind Chiaroscuro’s light and dark techniques he’s so importantly  used to convey meaning in his paintings. I attempted to photograph both brothers and juxtapose their characters, using the dark to cover one brother and light to the other. 


                                                                                               
                 

The doubled faced feature, demonstrates the true inner self conflicts of a type eight.  From the outside they always appear recollected, superior, and well constructed. However, they are hesitant to seek for help and much less let the inner self become vulnerable or escape the ego-centric walls they have built around them.

In each type, a series of pictures will depict an individual who is portraying his/her type influencing their personal life and interactions with others. 3) In the making of each piece, I began with a simple beginning idea of what I wanted the picture to show about a certain type. For example, type one: the reformer. The reformer is known to be self-controlled and a perfectionist. One who is always judging and forcing themselves to meet a certain standard of perfection in life always has a way of looking at oneself and searching for areas of improvement and consequently reprimand themselves when failing to do so. Knowing this I saw that we usually hear of people giving themselves a speech in the mirror and seeing one's reflection as someone who’s going to do the best they c

Withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. They typically have problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and self-pity.” - The enneagram institute
