The image I chose really stood out to me when looking through the artists. This photograph in particular was so interesting, but all three of them are exciting. They all have some kind of amazing motion in them that makes you want to examine them fully. The pictures also make you wonder exactly what is going on and how this was possible.
Wood was trying to examine the difference between the actual appearance and self, signified by the person and shadow. The photograph is trying to show the difference between being interior and exterior self.
This image is extremely effective because of the lighting and the space. You are able to see the shadow but not the shadow of the chair, really emphasizing the artist's intent. The shadow has a very fluid smooth appearance whereas the figure looks comfortable but yet her position we know would not be comfortable.
