I chose this image because I love the texture of the wall and the outstanding contrasts with the letter and gray background.

I think the texture is the most important because the texture is very apparent and can create the general mood of the photograph. I also like how the shape is positioned excitingly to create depth and make the piece more interesting.

Siskind’s photos are abstract because although you could know what the object in the photos is, it is hard to understand the meaning behind it, making the piece ambiguous and abstract.

I like the different textures and contrasts shown through Siskind’s work, especially how his photographs feel raw and organic.
