I might have cracked the Instagram code! Thoughts?

Okay, so I've been thinking about it, and I think I might be onto something. So a lot of people have been hoping that the theory that each photo set represents an era is true, but I don't believe it is. I don't see a bold correlation between each set. However, I think there's a connotation from that theory that play an important role in what this actually all means: growth, rejuvenation, and progression. Each photo set is more and more aesthetically pleasing, with the grotesque, disfigured Gaga in the first prospering into the gorgeous one depicted in the most recent. That's no coincidence; I believe it's meant to symbolize a sort of growth or rebirth, though rebirth/birth more because of the other symbology present. The wolf, present in the first two sets, symbolizes a sort of paternal instinct or guardianship. Wolf cubs are born blind and deaf, only with a keen sense of smell:

Wolfs are raised by their mothers, who are extremely protective of their litter while breastfeeding and will act ferociously to protect their cubs:

The second most symbol in the photos has to do with rejuvenation. Gaga's ARTPOP octopus is very prominently displayed in the two sets with similar aesthetics:


Octopuses aren't necessarily known for their birthing methods, but rather for their ability to regrow/rejuvenate appendages if they're lost. If you can octopus' arm off, it regrows in about six week's time, and at a strength far superior in quality than the original appendage. As this octopus is synonymous with the era it is from (ARTPOP), does this give credence to comments from LG6's collaborators that the album is ARTPOP's spiritual sister? Is this a rebirth of the concepts and aesthetics of ARTPOP with refined, stronger sensibilities?

I thought about this too. The photoshoot seems to be an evolution: the last pictures appears full of relief, as opposed to the first ones that are unpleasant and grotesque. But this doesn't contradict the era theory .. we all talk about Joanne as Gaga's liberation era.
