Saints and Sinners by Robert Mapplethorpe

Robert Mapplethrope's saints and sinners is an aesthetically pleasing work. The detail is incredible all while capturing movement of the water creating drama. The water exaggerates the features of the model's face while the nose and mouth are accentuated above the water. It almost seems like an allegory of the fragility of life because if he slips under just an inch he looses the ability to breath.
