Musée Magazine embraces the beautiful hope that every picture stimulates an interpretation. This column is our tip of the hat to that concept, with a fictionalized text we’ve written to accompany a selected photograph.

It is as if any slight movement could catapult the body onto the cold, hardened concrete, where everything lives in the smokey and murky shades of the ever-changing grayscale—unlike the traditional black-and-white reality. Sitting on the ledge with both feet hanging, the thought of simply letting go and feeling the slight rush of air before the final collapse invades the mind.

Whenever I think about dangling even more limbs off the heavy bench and sinking into a bottomless abyss, the sunlight catches me and brings light into a saddened darkened room.
