Regarde-Moi

This photo has more going on than meets the eye. At first, it’s a quiet, reflective scene—a man sits by the pond in l'Abbaye de la Cambre, Brussels, lost in his thoughts. But look closely, and you’ll notice two women on the other side of the water, casually watching him. Are they curious? Intrigued? Gossiping? The contrast between his solitude and their silent observation adds a touch of mystery (and a sprinkle of drama) to the image. A story of quiet moments that aren’t as private as they seem.
