Title: Divine Punishment

About the Photo:

This piece was created using a double exposure technique that captures the image in a single shot, followed by a handcrafted film development process. The imagery of the crow serves as a potent symbol, representing greed, bullying, and darkness. The carnivorous plant symbolizes the devouring nature of power mechanisms, while the crow stands for injustice. The photographed subject, portrayed in the guise of a female character, assumes the role of a scapegoat. Her slightly furrowed brows and pale, weakened makeup convey the inner struggle and resistance of the victim.

Through the metaphorical use of animals and humans, this work presents a complex and thought-provoking visual narrative at the intersection of photography and art. It evokes contemplation on moral issues and the phenomenon of scapegoating.
