A CASE OF YOU

As my final year dissertation and final film both revolve around a lexicon of love I've been doing research on love and relationships for some time now. I've been hearing both first and second hand accounts of love stories and horrific heart breaks and I thought I'd share something I'd found.
'Emotionally Vague' is a project that displays graphically how our emotions look and feel in our body. From a survey of 35 different countries, using 250 people between the ages of 6 and 75 each time, the project reveals how people experience feelings of anger, joy, fear, sadness and love.
Given a piece of paper wit human silhouettes, each person graphically represented their emotions in 3 ways; as a point, as a directional arrow and with complete expressive freedom. The images were then collected altogether and compiled on Photoshop to show a sort of 'frequency pattern' of graph.
Here are the results:

 From the drawings you can see the similarities that people experience between different emotions:
From the head: Anger, love and sadness.
From the heart: Love, sadness and joy.
From the stomach: Fear and love.
From the hands: Anger.

Interesting to see. I would agree with the majority of these results myself.
