This object features an elegant arrangement of beads connected to one another by a string. Most of the beads are oddly shaped but some of them have been chipped. The chippings could have happened when the object was dropped before. The audience can only imagine different uses for the object. I photographed the object in this way because I wanted to focus on the color and the few chippings. This side of the object caught my eye immediately. The white background really displays the vibrant red and brown colors. The string attaching all the beads is also visually seen from this side as well. It was important for me to show the individuality of each of the beads on this side. The beads consist of either red or brown and the majority of the beads are chipped.
