Assignment: Describe one image

The Power of Purge

The image walks the line of silence and noise - of stillness and chaos. There are stilled actions of purging emotion: a cathartic ritual between him and fan. Palpable energy, musky feel. The lyrics have taken the stage, reminiscent of the Pixies in 1989. Just an ego and moderate talent. In a lo-fi aesthetic, influenced by CHarles Peterson, his hands move rapidly. His body is hunched in concentration, while his mates support him. They are working in unison, making something frenetic. In sharp focus, his gaze is on his hands,   his intent is clear. The energy around them spurs them on. In thick blacks and grainy whites, their excitement is depicted. Tattoos blurred, a moment of the relationship between them is depicted.
