Vanesa Castaneda



Vanesa Castaneda
Philip-Lorca diCorcia "Alice"
1988 Extacolor print

Philip-Lorca diCorcia once said, "The more specific the interpretation suggested by a picture, the less happy I am with it." His work demonstrates a moment in time that was captured. A piece of work that captured my attention was "Alice," photographed in 1988. What intrigued me about this picture was the solitude of the woman shown at a certain time and place. To me this picture demonstrates a moment of tranquility.

By having her eyes closed, she is lost in her own world. Something that I can relate to sometimes.
