Stair Frames by Amit K Sharma

I was just leaving my office that day and took the stairs instead of using the lift. Usually, I use lifts but that day I took a lift when I was on stairs and tried to see down how many stairs are left then I saw this pattern from the top. That seems so amazing and took my phone out of my pocket and took this.

The stark black and white photograph crackles with a sense of mystery. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Sydney hums with the usual low murmur of curious patrons, but this particular scene feels suspended in time. In the background, a lone man stands before a sight both captivating and confounding: a full bathroom, meticulously crafted from translucent fabric. This is the Fabric Bathroom, a thought-provoking installation by the acclaimed artist Do Ho Suh. Every detail, from the sink to the toilet, is meticulously rendered in a ghostly white fabric. The black and white photography heightens the contrast, transforming the familiar bathroom into an ethereal dreamscape. The man in the photo embodies the intrigue this artwork evokes. He stands stock still, brow furrowed in concentration. Is he trying to decipher the logic of a bathroom made of cloth? Is he pondering the deeper themes of impermanence and the nature of home that Suh's work often explores? Perhaps a touch of amusement dances in his eyes – after all, encountering a see-through bathroom isn't exactly an everyday experience! This photo isn't just a documentation of an artwork; it's a snapshot of a human encounter with art. It captures the beauty of being challenged, the spark of curiosity ignited by something unexpected.

Walking in the La Recoleta cemetery in the city of Buenos Aires, I curiously met these 2 pigeons that were kept together all the time, I took several photographs of them making them fit with different parts of the cemetery. I finally liked this shot where it looks like they are hiding from the man in the background.
