Venezuelan Ricardo Baez-Duarte presents a variety of photographic studies that can draw the viewer into a quasi-meditative state. His subjects are diverse: an empty swimming pool, a bottle of tap water, a small town not far from Caracas, a busy beach, but his technique is such that all photos are very soothing in nature, almost lulling one into calm. There is a melancholy, though, that sometimes hangs over the work, a sort of late autumn sadness that makes one wonder if one has arrived too late.
