Robert Farber is portraying this Calla Lily with the same eye he lays on women’s beauty. Evanescent and shy, he isolates the flower to create a soft contrast of white and black tonalities.
Throughout the history of photography, the calla lily has been interpreted as a sexual symbol. Suggesting male and female organs depending on the photographer’s approach to it, Farber’s interpretation, with its voluptuous petal and deep swirl, is an ode to femininity.
