Spartan Reader Submission #2



This photo comes from one of the galleries off of Its Nice That. I really liked these photos and the way they were captured and just their appearance in general. These works were crafted by a Spanish man named Pablo. These photos convey a sense of eerie limitlessness. In the background appears to be what looks like a normal spacious room but after taking a few steps out the room is crowded a dark fog like entity almost. Destroying what space this room once held and bringing a new perspective into the room. Most of his works are like this one, where a nice background is crowded by something in the foreground. You can't make out exactly what the thing in the foreground is, but for some reason you know its right where it should be. It makes the right impression and leaves the right thoughts in your head. The fog repels the light, absorbing it almost, and is free to expand into the room sharing its gloominess to the far corners. Reaching out horizontally as if spreading its wings like a vulture, perhaps gives the casual onlooker a sense of self-dissatisfaction almost. The crowdedness of the room conveys the crowdedness(although not a word, I like it) of our own lives. The free life we think we live is crowded by mundane things such as, taking care of your kids, driving to work, even sleeping. Our lives crowded by things we just wave off. I absolutely love this gallery and the works involved and Pablo captures our lives through eerie photos. This is absolutely fantastic and I love the vibes his work gives off, whether they be good vibes or bad vibes, I love them.
