PIC #02 - Marwane Pallas

Marwane Pallas - Series Doctrine of Signatures

This series by photographer Marwane Pallas uses the Doctrine Of Signatures, the believe that herbs and foods that resemble parts of the body can be used to heal that part.  The images make you take a second look and the simplicity of the composition does not overwhelm the photographer's message.  

It is also layered with visual references from Man Ray's Le Violon d'Ingres to even the posing of the body, Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.
