Shot through a window pane with raindrops and faint reflections on the glass, of a thick, hand-knitted sweater with a grey and black wolf silhouette pattern draped over the back of a vintage salon chair. The sweater has loose strands of grey yarn hanging from its hem, and a wooden bobbin of undyed wool sits on the chair seat. The scene is surrounded by hair dryers and product shelves, with a reflection of a hair dryer visible in the adjacent mirror. The macro lens is positioned a few centimetres from the surface, creating a razor-thin plane of focus that highlights the texture of the wool. Orange sodium streetlight at night illuminates the scene, leaving everything outside its reach in deep blue shadows. Two unrelated things are placed next to each other so they comment on each other, the sweater and the salon tools. Shot on a medium format camera with a macro lens, showing extreme detail in the yarn fibers, shallow depth of field, and a strong contrast between the warm orange light and the cool blue shadows.
