22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The carpet

The photograph presents a surreal scene inspired by the discovery of a carpet in a field. The author questions where it came from and who brought it there. Reflecting on this, the author places household items nearby that might have coexisted with the carpet during its use. This creates a contrast and highlights the strange impression that objects make in an inappropriate place. This work becomes a reflection on the place of objects in our lives and how context changes perception.
