We approached 12 students from the UQAM design school to whom we asked the same question in connection with an given emotion: How would you describe what happens inside you when you are...?
We then modified their portraits based on their responses to be able to provide a clearer visual vocabulary that the audience may relate to.
This project ultimately took the form of a temporary installation which consisted of the projection of a video containing the questions and answers of the participants as well as the visual modifications applied to their portraits which represented their descriptions of these emotions.

The six basic emotions are joy, surprise, anger, disgust, sadness and fear. As part of this project, we choose to talk about 6 emotions from these broad basic categories; trust, uncertainty, insecurity, judgment, vulnerability and stress. Our goal is to help people identify, name and understand their emotions.
