Bharat Sikka, Photographer, London

Description

This photographic work by Bharat Sikka captures a mannequin or scarecrow styled in a dark suit jacket, striped shirt, tie, and bowler hat, seated loosely on a white plastic chair outdoors. The figure has a hand-drawn facial expression on a rounded white head and appears propped up against a soft-focus background with dappled light effects. The color grading leans into a muted, nostalgic palette with visible film grain and soft textural details throughout the composition. A bottle rests near the figure's lap, adding an unusual narrative element to the still setup. The image displays the distinctive observational aesthetic characteristic of the photographer's work.
