In Ashes
(2021 – 140x170 cm)
This is a photograph of a souvenir figurine of the sculpture “Charging Bull,” which stands outside Wall Street in Manhattan. The sculpture is a symbol of a rising financial market, also known as a “bull market.” In the photo, the figure is covered in ash and photographed using a technique called photo stacking, in which one takes 40–50 images, each with a different focus, and compiles them into one crystal clear image. Even if the bull is only a few centimeters high, it appears enormous.
