Subtilis Innocentia

Mariana Cacciola Vasiliu

The photograph depicts a child seen from behind, sitting on an unidentified surface, staring mesmerized at a red glowing light just outside her field of view.

The perspective from which the image has been shot emphasizes the attentive and pensive posture of the child, hinting at a feeling of mystery and discovery.

The contrast between the physique, small and vulnerable, and the intensity of the red glow creates an atmosphere of awe and marvel. The out-of-focus background keeps the attention of the viewer to the figure of the child and her intense gate towards the unknown.

This photo evokes the sense of discovery and amazement when facing something supernatural or extraordinary.
