Ei-Q made this photo of women at the seashore, we don't know when, but it’s a play of light and shadow, almost like he’s painting with the sun. The stark contrast between the black silhouettes and the white figures gives it this cool graphic punch. It's like he's saying, hey, art is a process, a dance between what's there and what's not. I love how you can almost feel the texture of the netting. The way the light filters through creates this dreamy, hazy atmosphere. The edges of the figures bleed into the background, which makes you think about how everything's connected. Look at the woman's raised arm, it's so full of energy and freedom. This reminds me of Man Ray, who was also into pushing the boundaries of photography. Art is just one big conversation, right?
