Remnants, Savannah, Georgia, 2014

A well-used hand-made doll cradles its head against a rusting vintage lantern in the window of a local business. These remnants of Savannah’s past represent nostalgic symbols of local traditions. I pressed my lens close to the window to avoid distracting reflections, and built the image around the relationship formed by these disparate objects. The doll looks sad, and seems to welcome the support of the lantern. The diagonal tilt of its head compliments the opposing diagonal thrust of the lantern. These diagonals combine to form two sides of a triangle, capped by the faded post on top of the lantern.
