Molecule Man - Jonathan Borofsky
This was shot in Berlin with a Sony RX100M2 and a gray filter using a tripod exposing for 30 seconds. I used the free App āsnapseedā to do some editing like black and white and some vignetting.
Molecule Man is a series of aluminium sculptures, designed by American artist Jonathan Borofsky, installed at various locations in the world, including Berlin, Germany, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA.
The first Molecule Man sculptures were made in 1977 and 1978 in Los Angeles, USA. The sculptures consist of three humans leaning towards each other, the bodies of which are filled with hundreds of holes, the holes representative of "the molecules of all human beings coming together to create our existence".
A highlight of our trip to Santa Fe was our visit to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.

"...you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flowerāand I don't."
"...escribes sobre mi flor como si yo pensara y viera lo que tĆŗ piensas y ves en la flor, pero yo no lo veo".
"WellāI made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flowerāand I don't."

This quote is taken directly from a statement written by Georgia O'Keeffe in 1938 and published in the catalogue for her January 1939 exhibition at An American Place gallery in New York.
Historical Context & Meaning in Her Oeuvre
Pushback Against Freudian Interpretations: Beginning in the 1920s, male art criticsāmost notably her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, as well as critics like Lewis Mumfordāfrequently interpreted her magnified flower paintings through a Freudian, sexual lens.
Assertion of Artistic Intent: Frustrated by critics projecting their own theories onto her work, O'Keeffe wrote this statement to explicitly reclaim control over her art. She maintained that her close-up, enlarged florals were simply about force of scale and slowing down the viewer to really see the subject as she experienced it.
Shift to the American Southwest: By 1939, O'Keeffe was spending significant time living and working in New Mexico. In the same catalogue text, she explained how her artistic focus was evolving toward desert landscapes, badlands, and bleached animal skullsāsubjects that lacked the romantic or sexual associations critics attached to her flowers.

"When I was eight years old, I asked my mother what the wind really looked like. I remember spending hours... days... sitting with my hands open wide or running with my lighting-bug jar, hoping to catch the wind." -Hannah Holliday Stewart.

True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.

"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves."

Art is both creation and recreation. Of the two ideas, I think art as recreation or as sheer play of the human spirit is more important.
