A Haunting

a photo I took of a art piece at Art Dubai (2011)

An unusual subject, an unusual composition.  These are silhouettes of women, obviously, but the artist cleverly reversed light and shadow.  I was struck not only by the light, but also by the texture of brushed gold.  Which were these three women.  What were they looking at, and what was this piece about?

I was one of many whom

You had tangled in a room –

For a sight you did not want

Would become your nightly haunt –

For a feel of light was I

Never seeking in your sky.
