About this work
This photo shows two people in dark coats walking side by side under a bright moon.
This photo shows two people in dark coats walking side by side under a bright moon. The faces stay hidden, but the long shadows stretch long on the pavement. You can almost feel the quiet between them.
What’s interesting is how light and dark play together. The moon lights their coats but leaves their faces in shadow. It makes you wonder what they’re talking about—or not talking about.
