Nikki S. Lee
Part (14), 2002

This particular image created by Nikki S. Lee is part of a series that explores the idea of unknown relationships, with each photograph in this series having a different settings and different characterisations the only similarity is the familiar arm being pushed into frame. The arm in this particular image is draped around the shoulders of the figure of Nikki S. Lee and is unidentifiable, this however is different for the character in shot, she is positioned slightly off centre and is gazing off to the right of the image indicating that she is clearly not looking at the figure to the left of the image, the reason for this is unknown but by the expression on her face you can infer that she is not entirely comfortable with the situation; this is shown further by the depth of colour used within the imagery as the surrounding areas are dark and gloomy with one bright window of a car highlighting the focus point. Overall the imagery in the piece leaves the viewer with a number of questions; Who is the mysterious figure?, Where is their destination? and lastly Why is capturing this moment in particular important?. By doing this the artist has created an outcome that sparks debates, on both the individual artworks along with looking at the ideas of the dynamics of different relationships.
