The photographer composed the image meticulosuly to artistically foreshadow the deep emotions by using physical barriers as a frame within a frame, A marvellous inception of frames sharpening the focus into the subject portraying loneliness.
I love Artspeak, it’s the peak of bullshit. Remember those essay questions on tests? The people that were really good at them, grew up to write the description in art gallery brochures.
I remember stumbling into a Robert Ryman exhibit of his minimalist white paintings, with a friend who was an artist. We were amazed at the bullshit descriptions of his paintings, which were nothing but white squares (I will go to my grave convinced he was a fraud) The writer was particularly excited that they were painted on aluminum instead of canvas - MIND-BLOWING! They were still just white squares. That’s not art, no matter how many syllables you throw at it.
As my friend said: An artist primes his canvas white, and says, “Okay, I’m ready to start painting.” This guy primes his canvas, stands back to look at it, and says “Welp, I’m done!” and cracks a beer.

Thanks for reading the bullshit I just made up.
