Joseph Emmanuel, Poetry of presence (PEOPLE 2020)

The gaze of a mother, a child playing on the sand in an early evening setting invites the viewer into a story that is open to interpretation. As much as the colors in the first three pictures add to the emotional correspondence between the child and the mother the monochrome picture intensifies the same feelings of dependence, love, and nurturing.
