Matthew Shave, London

Description

This conceptual still-life photograph by Matthew Shave arranges various luxury jewellery items and props against a clean white background to form the abstract silhouette of a human face. A curved red ribbon serves as the brow line, beneath which a textured black piece and a golden sunburst pendant with a central circular charm act as the eye. Two metallic thorn-like rings are positioned to suggest a second eye and a nose, while a vibrant red paper lip cutout marks the mouth. Hard directional lighting casts distinct, sharp shadows beneath each object, enhancing their three-dimensional form and texture against the seamless backdrop. The minimalist yet playful composition highlights the intricate details of the metallic surfaces and organic shapes.
