Cool Fascismo
The image above stood out to me due to it's claustrophobic composition. In the foreground around the man there is a variety of materials; toys, books, figurines, photos and so on... All elements are compartmentalized by shelves, creating something of a grid-like pattern. Every shelf is filled, some over-filled. The orientation is rotated to create an unnatural cascading movement. As if all the pieces were crumbling around the man near the middle of the image. Despite it's variety, the image is unified by the grid and size of compartments.
