Melting Gaze, 2022 is a fusion from two shoots, model Annabelle Little styled by Leonid Gurevich shot in an astonishingly beautiful modern ‘castle’ in Yonkers, New York; inserted into the landscape of a lagoon in Iceland. The artist wished to bring the model, chair, mirror into the outdoor setting for a surrealistic piece that makes the viewer feel the tranquility of the moment captured. The piece also conveys the symbolic element of daydreaming, being a million miles away in one’s own thoughts.
