Oh I love this. I`m always on the hunt for this kind of fotos. I`m fascinated to catch the interaction of people and art. And I enjoy it very much to see my pbase friend Echo in here! ;o) Thank you Jennifer!
****This works beautifully because of how the man seems to engulf Echo--she seems transfixed, overwhelmed. His ears are enormous and seem to be listening to each breath she takes. He is consuming Echo, yet she does not move. A shocking and thought provoking image.
To answer your question, Echo, don't worry about trying to understand the meaning of that picture you are looking at. Instead, just feel the picture. Did you feel overwhelmed? Invaded? Pressured? By making you think about your feelings, that photograph is working as an expressive image.
