2024, "Respite: The Moments In Between"
Larry Fink captured this moment of a man existing in his own bubble, yet the context behind it is unsure. This could have been a posed scene, or simply a candid moment of Fink experimenting with the camera. This work perfectly represents the strange idleness of being alone and relaxing. The cigarette between the subject’s fingers, the book he has almost completed, his exposed abdomen, and the absentminded hair-twirling showcase exactly the carefree relaxation of being in one’s own space where they feel comfortable. This image invokes a rainy Sunday afternoon, with nothing to do but finish one’s book and exist in a completely natural state.
