3D Shadow

“Minimalism means less is more” Sara Goli’s original photography embodies her artistic ethos both in its process and the content it depicts. A rough concrete wall joins a smoother stone flooring, connected by a slim wooden slat leaning and casting a jaunty shadow. The first look of this photo provides a simple aesthetic clean composition. Variance in texture and material is highlighted by the simple setup that pronounces the shadows as if treating them as another material entirely. With a long look, the composition may shift with the mind producing a more abstract interpretation. Shadow and wood pop out as the geometric center of the composition; a triangle floating in space through which a single line thread through. 

This piece complements a modern space as a framed photo for the wall. It encapsulates two worlds of art: photography and geometric abstraction. By doing so it also makes subtle comment and reminder that despite the critique and trends, art interpretation and perspective remains a subjective experience.
