Angola, Louisiana 23 - 1999

"Angola, Louisiana" is a photograph by Deborah Luster from her 1999 series, "One Big Self." The image captures a poignant moment between a man and a horse, the subject's face obscured by a white cloth. The photograph's composition, with the man standing in the foreground and the horse positioned to the right, creates a sense of intimacy and a striking contrast between the human and animal figures. Luster's work often explores themes of isolation, identity, and the complexities of human experience, drawing attention to the lives and stories of those often marginalized in society.
