"Mocha Mousse Mushroom: A portrait of a mushroom" is a macro photo of a mushroom (I think this is the Beech Mushroom). This mushroom's background is a warm brown colour, which I would personally describe as a warm "mocha mousse" colour (This colour in this work seems to me just a little warmer than the real "Mocha Mousse" trend colour).
If you zoom in on the mushroom, you can see that the focus of the photo is on the front of the hat. The further forward and back you look, the fainter the mushroom gradually becomes. This creates a sense of depth in the work.
Because of the subject and the warm brown colours, this photo has something calm and simple.
I chose the title because the colour immediately reminded me of the trending colour Mocha Mousse. And I like the alliteration with Mushroom added! Besides, the photo is a kind of portrait of a mushroom head.
This work could hang beautifully in the dining room, kitchen, restaurant or, of course, just above the sofa!
