This picture shows a striking and surreal scene that plays with perception and reality. At the centre of the composition is a simple wooden stool on a stone floor, topped by a bottle of "The Glenlivet Nadurra" brand whisky. The bottle is clearly in focus and forms the central object of the picture. What makes this image special, however, is the mysterious arm that seems to emerge from a black frame on the wall. The arm, with neatly painted red nails, subtly reaches towards the bottle, as if someone from another dimension is trying to grab the drink.
The black frame resembles a picture frame, but functions as a 'portal' from which the arm emerges, immediately reminding the viewer of surrealist art or optical illusions. The combination of natural materials (wood, stone) and the imaginative element of the 'hand from nowhere' creates a contrast between reality and imagination. The picture can be interpreted as a playful commentary on seduction, desire or the unexpected. The whole is visually intriguing, tightly stylised and raises questions about what is real and what is just illusion.
                                
 
                                
                                        By profession,  I am co-owner of a creative agency called Tocomfy. We work for several SME (and international) companies. You could therefore say that I have made my hobby my job.
In my spare time,  I like to go out and take pictures of interesting things I come across...
