A Limited Open Call for Setu: September- 2024

The photograph, below, is by the iconic author-artist-editor-thinker, Robert Maddox-Harle. 

 It evokes the beauty of the public space. 

Titled as “Lone Seat-North Haven”, it captures the beauty of a scene that can be read as an urban, romantic or idyllic sign or symbol---as per the mood/s of a remote viewer of the visual rooted in a locale that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

 Desolation. Emptiness. Loneliness. Or, an absence? 

 What does it intend to say, the powerful picture taken by the noted Australian artist Rob? 

 Its subtext? Its subconscious? What do you intend to construct, as a viewer/watcher, photographer?

 Send us your well-crafted responses to this picture-based call by Setu.
