This striking image captures a dramatic and tense moment in a dimly lit, industrial environment, characterized by heavy steel doors and a gritty, prison-like atmosphere. On the left, a menacing figure dressed in a tailored black suit and mask holds an assault rifle, exuding power and authority. The figure's posture is commanding, as they stand vigilantly watchful, symbolizing control. In stark contrast, to the right, a man clad in a bright red jumpsuit sits behind bars, his expression revealing vulnerability and desperation. The play of shadow and light enhances the mood, evoking feelings of suspense and intrigue, while the combination of textures—from the cold metal of the bars to the fabric of the outfits—adds depth to the scene. This artwork could serve as a captivating focal point in a variety of interior spaces, particularly those designed for gathering or entertainment, such as a modern lounge, bar, or home theater, where it can inspire conversation or set an edgy tone. This artwork would be ideal for use in modern urban spaces, such as a trendy lounge or bar, or could enhance the atmosphere of entertainment areas like game rooms or home theaters. It invites conversation and engages viewers with its powerful imagery and storytelling.
Image from my Dystopia series - After retirement I have expressed a lot of my feelings in my photographs. It has been very therapeutic. When making this series I went through my mental journey in the past years by picturing it as a dystopian society. Little human facing a faceless society was an easy role to play. I have taken a lot of self portraits so it was obvious that I play the role of a human in these pictures myself. Looking at the world now, the pictures also work on a larger scale and not just as one man's battle inside his head.
