2 UMBRELLAS 2016

Elina Brotherus' 2016 photograph "2 UMBRELLAS" is a captivating image of a woman holding two umbrellas in a verdant garden. The composition is simple yet engaging, showcasing the woman's thoughtful expression against the backdrop of a lush hillside. The contrasting colors of the umbrellas - one black and the other with a vibrant floral pattern - add a touch of visual intrigue to the piece, creating a harmonious balance between natural elements and human presence. Brotherus, a Finnish photographer known for her introspective self-portraits and explorations of the human condition, employs a minimalist approach to capture a moment of solitude and contemplation.
