Ice cream, Kiev, Ukraine, 2009

We saw it from across a wide avenue, the Khreschatyk, Kiev’s main street. It was a simple ice cream sign, yet it was glowing softly next to a golden door from another time. The gentle swirls of ice cream juxtapose perfectly with the swirling ornamentation of the doorway, while the crusty cone seems to mimic the softly focused column at left in both texture and configuration. This image is a good example of using several kinds of juxtaposition in the same image. We compare then to now, and small to large. We also echo form and texture, compare dark to light, and vivid color to neutral hues.
