This photograph captures the stark, almost ominous descent down a concrete stairwell. The dim and harsh lighting, the worn texture of the surfaces, and the sharp metallic railings create an atmosphere that is raw, industrial, and unembellished, evoking an urge to proceed cautiously. The railings create a pattern of lines that converge, drawing the viewer’s eye deeper into the image, inviting us to step into an unfamiliar and uninviting place. (Photograph captured on 35mm Tri-X film, 1980.)
