Koto Bolofo, Photographer, New York

Description

A dramatic black-and-white fashion photograph shows an adult woman bent under the weight of a large, black sphere that rests on her upper back and shoulders. The woman wears a long, dark dress and gloves with her arms crossed over her chest. Her hair is neatly styled. She is posed against a backdrop of a bright sky with soft, white clouds. The image is a low-angle shot. The monochrome palette emphasizes the contrast between the woman's form and the sphere. The overall effect is one of struggle and burden, set against the expansive, indifferent sky.
