I wasn’t able to find the artist, but this collage is about the lifestyle of people in the upper east side. the collage tells an interesting narrative because it includes not only the personal aspect of the photographer but also includes the facade of a famous person living in new york.

the simplicity of the image is astonishing. the image can be read in so many ways. the softness of their hand complemented by the gradient (black to grey) in the background. I think the composition in this image is interesting because what your eye goes to first is their hair, however, what’s in focus is her hand which battles with their red hair.

this triptych shows a more successful narrative with a mother and her daughter. the two almost mimic each other in each image. the soft lighting adding to innocence and care to the relationship between the two and the bed seeming like a small island the two ‘live’ on when they’re together.
