26.12.21

26.12.21, 2021

"The eyes in 26.12.21 are obscured, although they remain partially visible behind the reflection of light in the lenses. The glasses are contemporary and stylish, chosen for how their colour and lines correspond with the those of the facial hair and the cross, and possibly to undercut any quasi-medieval notion of religiosity. With a well-kempt beard, unlike that in Salvo, the brightly-lit face and tilt of the head suggest not victimhood but mastery, as if this man is confident in his position and belief, immune to the vagaries of politics and social unrest. A priestly or monkish figure, his strong cross carries weight here, more than a mere piece of jewelry."
~ Kenneth Radu (The Agonies & The Execution: Portraits by Adamo Macri)
