Velvet Silence

A purple-gloved finger rests against bright lips beneath an extravagant pink and violet headdress. Butterfly ornaments, gold trim and strands of pearls surround the pale mask, filling the portrait with color and texture. Photographed during the Venice Carnival, the gesture of silence gives this elaborate costume a playful focus.

Enjoy Velvet Silence by Simone Amaduzzi as a photographic wind spinner, bringing the photograph’s colors and patterns into a decorative display with a sense of movement.
