I was speaking with some of my peers the other day and we got onto the subject of what we were going to title our photographic circular narrative. I literally had no idea, the title never occurred to me as I have been so immersed in the photographs and the narrative that I have not had time to think of one. I decided to relate back to my research on the illness of OCD and see if I could think of some keywords relating to it.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterised by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviours aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning, repeated checking, extreme hoarding, preoccupation with sexual or violent or religious thoughts, relationship-related obsessions, aversion to particular numbers, and nervous rituals. (Wikipedia)
From this extract from Wikipedia, I took the words intrusive, fear, worry, anxiety, obsession, compulsions, ritual. I don't think the word intrusive would work as a title, as it is too complicated and doesn't work as a creative thought, it would get the viewer confused about what they are intruding and why. I am torn between using the titles "OBSESSION" and "RITUAL" as a title.
I then went to think about the symptoms of OCD and one of them in lining things up in order. I then decided to play with the titles and see what I could come up with:
• BEINOSSS (Obsession in alphabetical order)
• SSSONIEB (Obsession in alphabetical order, backwards)
• AILRT (Ritual in alphabetical order)
• TRLIA (Ritual in alphabetical order, backwards)
