Wonder Wheel
In Coney Island, I embarked on a series in search of American Flags. I kept noticing them on various buildings, prominently hanging out of windows, and strewn throughout this lively neighbourhood. People from all walks of life exhibit such profound patriotism towards their country even though many live along way from home, including me. This particular print captures the vibrant essence of Coney Island, New York, through a stunning double exposure of the iconic Wonder Wheel and its picturesque surroundings. The seamless blend of imagery reflects not just a fleeting moment in time but also the rich and captivating history of this once-thriving amusement area. With its intricate details and a colour palette that brilliantly celebrates leisure and enjoyment, this photograph invites viewers to fully immerse themselves in the joyful atmosphere that has defined Coney Island for generations.
