About the artwork

This powerful fine-art portrait shows an intimate moment between two figures, with one person wearing a gas mask; the black-and-white photography and strong chiaroscuro lighting give the work a cinematic, timeless tension. Ideal as a canvas print, dibond or poster for lovers of conceptual portrait photography and dramatic wall decoration.

The image appeals to themes of protection, vulnerability and connection in hostile conditions - making it particularly suitable for minimalist, industrial and modern interiors looking for emotion and story. Available in different sizes and finishes, this artwork functions both as a subtle accent above a sofa and as a dominant statement in a hallway or lobby.

This artwork evokes a mix of intense emotions, including:
Desire: The proximity of the figures and their intimate pose suggest a strong emotional connection and desire.
Alienation: The gas mask adds an element of alienation and distance, creating a sense of isolation and unease.
Protection: The mask can also symbolise protection from a hostile or dangerous environment, evoking a sense of care and precaution.
Melancholy: The dark tones and muted light reinforce a melancholic mood, as if the figures are in a world that threatens to overwhelm them.
