Editor: So, this is Paz Errazuriz's black and white photograph, "Adam’s Apple." It feels raw, almost confrontational. What grabs you when you look at it? Curator: It's like a whispered secret shouted from the rooftops, isn't it? The light, for one, feels like confession booth lighting, highlighting the vulnerability but also the defiance in the subject's eyes. Do you feel that tension? Editor: I do. There's a push and pull. It's intimate and public all at once. The name feels like a statement. Curator: Exactly! Errazuriz is winking at us. What does gender, desire, and power really mean in the shadows? What do you think?
