Engaged
If you were in my clothes is an expression that means if you were in my situation then…….,
then maybe you would feel the same as I do. And what you feel is often very clearly seen in your body language. So, in this painting when you don't see the facial expressions, the body language becomes very clear. The clothes embrace, hide and highlight the body and enhance or dampen the feeling that your body language conveys.
Body language is also more than the reflection of your temporary feeling, it is also a clear part of your personality that you carry with you throughout your adult life. How you walk, stand and gesture etc.
It is fascinating that the way we move, so clearly communicates our feelings and it is also a large part of the personality we convey.
