MODERN DAY REVERENCE

- Nearly Human

Image of a mannequin in deep thought, capturing the unsettling yet reflective theme


Captured in Boston within the backroom of an athletic shop. Here is a mannequin deep in thought. The light shines upon him, but there is no light within. He has no brain, yet you can’t resist the impulse to wonder what’s on his mind. In this photograph, I’m interested in the question of how the inanimate can unsettle us and cause internal reflection.

Shot on Nikon N75 with Fujicolor 400
