The Human Condition
In a magical, other-worldly tableau, it is all here in the window. Pristine, white, unpainted Carnival masks seemingly defying gravity in their show of the human condition. There is the beauty of the physical form, the sweetness of the moon and the stars, happiness, wonder. There is the other side: Mystery, puzzlement, despair, rage, the grotesque. The power of creation and the power of destruction. And in the background, the stairs of life that we will climb until our last breath, regardless of the masks we have worn. And for the photographer, an image presented by serendipity and reflection.
