Photography by Maxwell Suzuki

In my compositions, I gravitate towards eerie and slightly off-kilter moments. And in this set, tendrils of loneliness extend from the single street violinist to the flower poking out of bars. I see black and white photography as inherently ghoulish, and so I decided to use subjects that matched that tension.
