Malike Sidibe, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking conceptual studio photograph by Malike Sidibe features two dark blue sneakers suspended in mid-air against a moody, dark background. A vibrant red and orange corn snake winds its way through the laces and around the lower shoe, while a cluster of small white flowers is tucked into the back heel. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, accentuating the glossy leather texture of the shoes and the smooth scales of the snake. The vertical composition creates a surreal and captivating still-life scene.
