Still Life


What do you see? In the picture, we can find candles on a candle-holder with pearls that sort of look like a center piece. There is a mask with feathers in between the candles and a net around it to make it look elegant. On the other side, there is another mask with strings attached to it that looks like the brightest area in the photo.

How is the work organized? The work is organized with the shapes being identifiable. You can spot the candles and the masks, as well as the pearl, which all contributes to the overall theme of the picture. The image is focused with a lot of depth, and captures the subject of the photo, and it was done intentionally.

What is the artist trying to communicate? The image, which was taken indoors with the backdrop, is both dark and light, with areas that are darker than others. It shows the contrast between the background and the objects.

What do you think of the work? The image successful because it turned out how I'd like it to be. The image also portrays the concept that I wanted it to portray easily, which is sort of like a masquerade.
