Repetition of Shape

 

 

 

 

The simple composition of this photograph relies on the repetition of curved shapes. The arched shape of the old man, the curved dark shape surrounding him, the clump of grass at the opening and the curve of the grass hut are all echoed in the dark silhouette of the distant hut.

The photographs simplicity reminds the viewer of the simple life of the subject, uncomplicated by all the accumulated possessions of western life.
