Amy Stein's photo seems to show a child's fear and/or fantasy about animals. A bear in one's yard or outside of a yard, blocked by a flimsy fence is not a common circumstance. Amy Stein seems to be curious about the interaction between the two specie's. The child, vulnerable in her swimsuit seems surprised and stands, what looks like, very still. The bear, seems to be mimicking her.
Jen Davis' piece says a lot about self-consciousness. Being a self-portrait, it shows that she is unafraid to show the viewer her vulnerability, because she is clothed in a flimsy night gown, as she sits hunched staring at the viewer. One of her legs also appears to be injured which could be another reason she appears forlorn.
