Groupings purpose:

Each group (water, soaping/lathering, rinse/dry, and products’ application) turn into chapters.
Each chapter will have several pages (2-3) within it…the images reflecting the routine and the narrative sharing a thought or emotion that was felt during that particular instance of the routine.
This could also be done in he opposite way…the images reflecting thought or emotion felt during the particular step and the narrative being the step-by-step routine.

Applicable thoughts/emotions by chapter:

WATER
Main water line leak-leak was detected…at a rate of a gallon/minute
Water usages-to drink…to splash…to cleanse
Sinking-overwhelmed feelings

SOAPING/LATHERING
Cleanse-taking off the day, ridding myself of day’s negative encounters
Color-solution turns to milky sand color
Why-what was that about

RINSE/DRY

PRODUCTS’ APPLICATION
