Free swensens meal thank you so so very much ziyad

PYP 1993 Photo Documentation Mod Finals Question 2.7:

Give some thoughts about the Ziyad-ness of the photo below.




I don't remember ever seeing this expression from him. Doesn't seem to be a 'ziyad' expression at all actually. Hmm.

No doubt, he seems to be thinking of something. An unpleasant memory? A sticky situation in a conversation? Choosing his words to paint the right picture vs the accurate picture? There's an essence of seriousness and deep thought in this photo. However, what's notable is his slight attempt to almost.. smile. It's not a proper smile. But he's trying to. He seems to be in this very brief uncertainty of wanting to know what to feel, while subconsciously thinking of what to inform/project. This might be the reason why I don't really remember this particular expression. It might be very brief. Too brief. Is it human nature to not notice this brief moment of change? Is it human nature to keep this moment brief? Seems like a naturally ideal window to look into another person's soul - his transition. The subconscious transition of one state / emotion / thought / sentiment to another. Of hiding and showing. Of doubts and faith. Of knowing and finding.

The subconscious mind is more truthful than the conscious one.

What truth is he hiding?

Perhaps I fail to see him in this state before. Perhaps he's not actively concealing this transition phase. It's just natural for him. It's natural for his subconscious mind to keep this raw and exposed transition phase hidden from view. Why though?

The subconscious mind is more vulnerable than the conscious one.

Is this the ziyad I know? Hmm.
