...close-up portrait of an elderly man in a wheelchair and a baseball cap intrigues the viewer and poses questions as well. His lips and his chin and his clenched right fist are indeterminate and open to interpretation. His eyes are clear and asymmetrical, but it is unclear whether they are haunted, surprised or amused. Context beyond the suggestion of a nursing home in the background might have helped to narrow down these emotional options; however, the inability to categorize the man’s expression so quickly prevents the viewer from dismissing the man himself as a kind...
