There is an abundance of signage on this vending machine near the Oregon State Tourist Bureau. But the dominant feature here is the gesturing candy bar. I’ve tried to bring candy bar to life by filling half of my frame with a stone wall. The head of the candy bar seems to explode out of it, as if it has just spotted us looking its way. The layering effect animates the image, bracketing the gesturing candy bar between the wall and the smaller figure of a chocolate bar. By humanizing this candy bar, we see it as a symbolic invitation to pleasure.
