Shades of Red,
Soho, New York City, 2011
There is such a strong visual and mental component here. Visually, there is play of red hues in the hair, shirt and arm and the play of patterns and shapes in the hair, flowers, and freckles.
But most importantly, there is the idea of this moment, where this woman chose to wear a pattern and color shirt that enhanced her red features in such a beautiful way. It shows a woman that is comfortable and celebratory in her unique skin, something that is not to be taken for granted these days.
