Brake Break Broken Concept Crack Cracked Cracks Dissolve Dissolving Scattered Sepia
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly beautiful photograph by Mieke Engelbos for 1x Gallery's 'Broken' series, a young woman's face is fragmented and scattered across a dark beige background. The once-intact portrait now dissolves into shards of cracked glass, as if the very fabric of her identity has shattered.
The model's features are distorted, like reflections in broken mirrors - some pieces intact, others fractured beyond recognition. Her eyes seem to stare out from multiple angles at once, their gaze piercing through the cracks and fissures that have taken over her visage.
As we peer into this composite image, a sense of melancholy settles upon us. The sepia-toned hues evoke a nostalgia for what has been lost or broken - perhaps even ourselves. Engelbos' masterful manipulation of light and shadow creates an atmosphere both somber and introspective, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own fragilities.
In this poignant work, 'Broken' transcends its title to become a powerful metaphor for our collective experiences with heartache, disillusionment, or simply the impermanence of life. As we gaze upon Engelbos' stunning creation, we are reminded that even in darkness and disarray, there lies beauty - if only in the cracks.
