Assignment 5: Mood without human expressions

For this assignment, we were required to use 2-4 photographs that depict a certain set of adjectives without using any form of human expression as the subject.

We were given the following sets of adjectives.

1) Peace, serene, calm, harmonious, tranquil
2) Happy, cheerful, satisfied, delighted, joyful
3) Progressive, active, advancing
4) Lonely, abandoned, desolate, solitary
5) Sad, gloomy, miserable, depress, solemn
6) Chaos, disorder, turmoil, mess

Can you guess which mood am I trying to portray with the following pictures?

Update:

For this picture, I was trying to portray the mood of "happy, cheerful, satisfied, delighted or/and joyful". As human expressions weren't allowed for this assignment, I decided to use bright pastel colours to bring out the "happy" mood instead.

I think this relates a lot to how children's toys are usually made with bright, pastel colours. Children playing with toys are usually very happy doing so (unless they start arguing and fighting over toys of course haha...), so there is this natural connection between "happy", "pastel colours" and "children's toys" i guess...

This picture would be the depiction of the theme "sad, gloomy, miserable, depress, solemn". It's actually taken from the perspective of someone staring out of a window grille with broken glass panels.

The worn-down texture of the buildings in the background and the texture and lines of the broken glass panels and window grilles in the foreground add to the gloomy and depressing mood. Perhaps I should desaturate the colour of the grass to bring out the mood in this picture even more. Suggestions anyone?

I had goosebumps while editing this picture haha... I thought something was going to come down from those staircase at any moment. I think it's how the railings of the staircase leads you to the corner of the picture, which leads to nowhere it seems.

Added a bit of saturation to bring out the colour in the background and upped the exposure levels to create "noise" add to the "lonely" and "abandoned" mood haha... perhaps the light coming from the glass panel is too bright and I should adjust the contrast and brightness of that portion of the picture.

This picture would bring out the notion of "isolation" and the "solitary" figure. I desaturated the colours from all other parts of the picture except the arm chair in order to portray this particular "mood" in the picture. Perhaps I can saturate the colour of the armchair even more to create better contrast.

Makes you wonder who sat there before. Or can you imagine someone sitting there? haha.

This picture represents "chaos, disorder, turmoil and mess". Although this was taken at a "warehouse" of a spare-parts collection company (and the parts are actually sorted out into different components), I still felt that this could be a form of "organised chaos".

However, maybe there are too many elements in the picture itself, which distracts the viewer by not giving him/her an area to focus on, but hey, isn't that fitting for this theme? hahaa...

My classmates thought that this picture was a bit "Saw"-like (in reference to the sadistic cult movie haha...) This was actually taken at an abandoned army barrack in Changi but the original picture was not like this at all.

It was via colour treatment that I managed to create this "Holga/Lomo/street photography" feel to the picture. Maybe I should crop away the right portion of the picture to remove the lines of the corner where the walls meet each other.
