Description
The title of this piece, "Exit-ential Man", comes from existentialism, the philosophical approach that predicates that it is the individual, through his or her choices, who determines his own existence and nature. The image is replete with visual symbols: the scale of the human in the vast and meaningless space; the strong lines leading to the figure; the position of the man, half in the image, half obscured by the wall; the prominently positioned exit sign; even the cool tones and the filtered light, both natural and artificial. The viewer is, of course, free to interpret this symbolism and even to add other elements of the composition to the equation.
