You know that silhouette that looks like a fancy vase or
lamp one moment and two faces in profile the next? That's
how it effects me, but with more states.
What all the states have in common is a perception of
tenderness and respect, be they happy, sad, kink, vanilla,
sexual, or non-sexual.
It's *sweet*.
There's a Hell of a lot of room for the viewer to project
elements that aren't literally in the photo inot it, whether
any of those aspects were present in the moment being
photographed or not. Plenty of room to see what you most
want to see in it ... or are afraid of seeing.
This is a photo you could show to a creative writing class
and ask each student to write a short story or vignette
inspired by or attempting to explain it, and get a lot
of very different and interesting results.
