Sam Wright, Photographer, New York

Description

This photograph by Sam Wright captures a traditional outdoor religious shrine set into the weathered exterior wall of a building. At the center, an arched alcove framed by classical marble columns houses a statue of the Virgin Mary dressed in blue and white robes. Below the alcove, vibrant orange marigolds sit in planters amidst green foliage. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, casting soft shadows across the textured stucco wall and the architectural stonework of the niche.
