“ART Santa Fe” is an international contemporary art fair, bringing dealers, artists and art collectors from all over the world together for four days each year. Held in the city’s Sweeney Convention Center, the essence of the show is the sheer size and variety of its offerings. I used the principle of contradiction to make this image incongruous and expressive. Shooting with a 24mm wideangle lens from a balcony ringing the second floor of the building, I walked around the huge show until I could find a single person to contrast to the maze of illuminated yet abstracted booths. And I found her. Here she is, surrounded by the creativity of her clients, quietly awaiting her potential customers. The seemingly endless racks of spotlights, the glowing white walls of the various booths, the curving darkness beyond, all play against this solitary figure, the focal point of the image and a striking example of contradiction expressed through scale incongruity. She is utterly alone in an image filled with scores of abstracted possibilities.
