dissociatedby
sevilduvarciComment by Jedusi: To me a good title should set the scene for the viewer to help them understand what they are looking at, and what was in the photographers mind when he/she was capturing the image, so drawing the viewer in further.
This is an interesting title.
When I first looked at the shot I thought the image portayed a black lady with short hair outside of an expensive hair salon, full of younger white people fussing over their long hair, but reading down I discover that rather than a hairdresser it is the Brooklyn Museum of Art. . . shows what I know :- )
That said the disassociation of the title still works, as we have a single person sitting on their own on the outside of the building while inside there is a group of people engaged in conversation and a whole story going on behind the plate glass. There is the lady in the wheelchair, someone leaning forward resting their chin on their hand apparently talking to her, while another girl stands behind the chair - her helper? a friend?
On one side of the see-through barrier life, movement, animation, sharing - on the other someone sitting apparently content, but on their own, nothing to to with the group, disassociated.
