LOVE 1

What is foreground and what is background?

LOVE 1 offers two teenage girls dressed only in nylon stockings, one sitting behind the other. The girl on the left nestles tenderly against the back of the one on the right, hand on her bare shoulder. The overlapping lean limbs of the two girls, their tan skin, their dirty blond hair, and the stockings create a flow that fills the entire picture surface. This unity, however, is broken up by three stripe-like forms extending across the picture. As with a torn poster, a yellow-green silky fabric with deep waves and folds is exposed like a second dimension. What is the foreground and what is the background? Pink bubbles hover over the entire space and add to the disorientation. The eye finds no peace and must continue to search for meaning.
