Text Entries
The photograph was acquired with a custom commercial frame.
While the subject of this photograph is easily recognizable as a human foot, this ordinary appendage is given a mysterious air by the photographer. By isolating it from its connection to a leg and to its function, he invites us to see it freshly, as a form floating in space.
