This one was hard, I felt really engaged in the problem of society either trying to conceal things it finds uncomfortable or ripping away the veil without considering the effects it has on the individual.
What decisions, I wonder, would law makers make if they had to wear my face?
Anyway, I struggled with this one because the original did not have the lighting to make it on its own. When I stopped finally, I realized that I was trying to compensate with the results of the simple equipment I used rather than actually working on the meaning I intended - the detail was blocking my thinking, diverting it perhaps.
Once I accepted this, the pale blue veil and the geometric cuts just kind of happened, like a dam bursting.
We only have a limited capacity to process information, and we have to reach a compromise all the time between focusing on the detail or on the meaning; if we expend more effort on one, the other suffers. Since my working day is filled with detail, here I would like to tip the balance the other way and prioritize meaning instead. This is, after all, why I use a simple camera.
