Lot Essay:
Funk’s work uses photographic printing technology to create a conceptual and symbolic image that references psychological theory. The use of Maslow’s pyramid structure transforms photography into a visual metaphor, pushing beyond representation into the realm of abstraction and idea. In the exhibition’s narrative, this piece represents contemporary photography’s conceptual expansion, showing how the medium now explores identity, theory, and visual language in ways that parallel painting’s conceptual developments.
