I chose this photograph, taken by B. Topwkosa, because I think that it illustrates the concept of wellness very well. As I look at this photo I can see that there is an exercise instructor demonstrating physical movements to a group of young children. This supports and captures the concept statement of this collection as exercise can be essential to a person’s physical and mental health and wellness. Furthermore, I think that the angle in which this photo is taken as well as the mirroring of the instructors leg by the children adds really interesting composition.
