Tocka is Russian and does not have a specific English transition. The closest translation is "longing with nothing to long for." For my triptych I will photograph the same model wishing for something they can't have. My idea (that may change) is to have someone blowing out candles and then having the two things that person wishes for on the outside of the middle image. This word can also represent depression and a melancholy feeling, so I may end up using that aspect of the word and creating monochromatic (darks grey and blacks) darker images. It is hard to photograph not having something, so this project may end up being challenging.
