What is Emotion?

Emotion, to a witness of it, is a form of something not visible which is represented by familiar signs of expression. This is easy for a photographer to capture as we all know what those familiar signs are.

Someone I know conveyed this also possible through illustration, maybe by accident, but none the less I believed they were right.

To capture an emotion with the help of a device would be easy compared to an artist developing an emotion from nothing more than their mind.

The uniqueness of this is that by looking at the illustration of an emotion would take more than just recognition by the viewer, but cognizant thought to what the artist is trying to portray.
This places you somewhere other than yourself. You would experience the emotion felt by the artist as they would have clearly had to feel it themselves at the time to express it.
