Standing Out, Yet Embraced
Even though it’s not easily visible, the man in this picture is an elderly person. The day this picture was taken, it was a heavily windy and cold day. I was fascinated by this man’s courage and strength to wait in a long line in the cold and windy weather to see the building and the art exhibition hosted inside. When I spotted him, I immediately knew I wanted to create art inspired by him and the building simultaneously. When he stood in the middle of the building, I seized the chance to take a picture from the ground to the top so that the roof’s lines and structure would all point to him, making him stand out as the oldest man in the room, with such passion for art and architecture. Both the volunteers and the building embraced him that day!
