Description

Candid photography portrait of a woman walking along the great hall at Grand Central Station in New York City. She is holding a cold drink and her cellphone. It is a warm day in May of 2019.

Labyrinths is inspired by the Kore, the free-standing ancient Greek sculpture of women believed to be divinities. As I began to photograph series, the Kore sculptures kept flashing in my mind, and particularly, the idea that an artist 2500 years ago was transposing a representation of a woman onto the stone, and here I was thinking that 2500 years later my photographs were documenting a real woman with individual names and personal histories. If you suspend belief for a moment, set aside the time in between, and let the Kore stand side by side with this portrait, this is what a woman looks like 2500 years later.

The expression on her face, while she walks, reminded me of Rodin's The Thinker.
