Amazing....When You See Tears Under A Microscope You'll See Just How Powerful Our Emotions Are

Rose-Lynn Fisher is a fine-art photographer who was intrigued by her own emotions. 

Although art is already such an emotional endeavor, she decided to take it one step further with her project, The Topography of Tears.

Fisher wanted to see if her tears, all of which were triggered by different emotional states or reasons, looked different from one another. Her project reveals an interesting fact about human emotion. 

Tears of grief

Tears of change

Tears of timeless reunion

Tears from onions

Tears from laughing until crying

Tears of possibility and hope

Tears of rememberance

Basal tears

There are the tears that keep your eyes lubricated.

Tears of momentum, redirected

Tears of release

Tears of ending and beginning

Tears of elation at a liminal moment

Liminal moments are defined as moments during rituals where participants have passed the re-ritual stage but are not fully initiated into their next stage.
