Conceptual nominee
Andres Gallego
The Little Match Girl (Single)
DESCRIPTION
All the scenery has been made personally to create an interpretation of the story of Hans Christian Andersen, "The Little Match Girl".
I have used the pretext of the story to introduce a moral dilemma that affects society. A society in which individualism prevail, a strange game that is difficult to understand and to which we must adapt abandoning empathy or altruism. This is reinforced by the different stories represented in the image.
Decide for yourselves what feelings this image arouses in you.
AUTHOR
Born in 1983 in Melilla, and currently residing in Castellón de la Plana, Spain, I began my relationship with photography in 2017. Practically self-taught, I draw my inspiration from classical painting and artists such as Eugenio Recuenco, LeTurk, Gregory Crewdson and Kate Woodman, among others.
