I enjoy the amusing juxtaposition in this image of the hopeful young couple sitting in the cafe enjoying a coffee together while looking at these horror-esque expressions on the hanging mask exhibit in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. I feel that it’s reminiscent of an Edgar Allan Poe poem.

I like the added detail that both of these people also have cameras around their shoulders. For me, it adds the sense that even as we attempt to create our own view of the world, we still all act as subjects in other people’s world view.

This is amongst the first double exposures I made and both photographs were taken circa 2015, years before I had started the Lagoon project formally.
