I think that Edward Weston was trying to incorporate multiple ideas with this photo. With the main theme being fear. I think this is because he has taken the photo from a low angle, trying to make the plant seem larger than it actually is. This can be seen as the plant seems to look somewhat like the eye of a storm, or perhaps a tornado from ground level. I think Weston has specifically done this by altering his composition, changing the angle the photo is taken at. As well as the art element of scale. Which is visible as he has intentionally captured the width and surrounding area of the plant rather than just the top leaf. Further emphasizing the message of fear. The crinkly texture of the kale leaves also create a widening effect, as well as making the circles around the stem more intimidating and fierce. If this photo didn’t have a title, and I were to give it one, I would label it “Kale-nado” . As it is a kale plant that looks like a tornado.
