The Art of Noticing Life

A Senior Thesis by Megan Klose

the art of noticing life

It’s about seeing beauty in the mundane things in life and recognizing the little things in life and how beautiful they are. Our lives are busy and clouded with thoughts, social media, and judgment. In this photo essay, I took the time to photograph and highlight the little moments in life we often overlook. I took time to be human again and appreciate what life is. I noticed the life we live and it changed the way I understand life and the world around us. I hope these photos bring you a sense of noticing life again, and appreciating the beauty in the mundane.
