This photograph was chosen to represent ‘impatient’ the red colour is used to represent the intensity of that emotion but the fact that the paint does not cover the entire object suggests that the emotion does not fully takeover the person, allowing them to maintain self-control and preventing anger.
The red chipped paint on the surface of this service bell could also suggest that it is quite old and the rust on the button on top supports this, which might represent the fact that this emotion is something that this person has had to deal with for a long time. However looking beyond the surface of the image, the chipped paint could symbolise the idea that something, impatience, is trying to break free and by doing so it is causing the paint to fall off.
The slanted camera angle also mirrors the effects of this emotion. Thinking straight might have been represented with a mid-close up shot from the front of the object, the fact that the view is instead slightly distorted symbolise the idea that sometimes impatience can interfere with our sense of judgement, depending on its degree.
The fact that the focus of this photo is the service bell, which is shown through a close up, and that the background is blurry helps to emphasise that impatience is represented by the focal point of this photograph. On the other hand the blurred background also plays an important role in this photo, since it helps to determine what kind of impatient this photo is referring to. It does this by blurring the background just enough to allow the tree, leafs and grass to be visible. In this case the nature at the back of the service bell, creates balance through contrast, the calmness of nature cools the heat from impatience limiting its energy.
The cooling effect could be further emphasised by where the bell is placed, which appears to be a veranda from the worn out white wood seen in the photo, characteristics that maybe found on the fences of a veranda, which is a place of relaxation and leisure.
