You may also extract the key search keyword or tags that you used/would use to discover your image here. We used the search keyword "mindfulness" to find the image that we picked.
Other words that immediately come to mind are Individualism, Aloneness, Independence, Adventurer, Escape, Spirituality, Thoughts, Nature Connection, Serenity/ Tranquillity/ Peace, and Self-Love, Self-Reflection, Self-Connection, etc.
The preceding activity will answer the question: What reaction does the image evoke in you? This is one of the greatest methods to determine the image's purpose. Did you make any connections to the image's probable contexts? Yes! You did create connections; consider how you arrived at your judgments on crucial terms. Keep in mind that we're seeking for the "HOW?" How are we deciphering the messages sent by the image? This activity will help us understand what this image is attempting to do.
