12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
The Pillar

The image captures an unintentional separation between an African American and a White American at a subway station in New York City. It can be seen that the separation is unintentional, however the use of black and white filter along with the pillar situated between the two subjects further enhances the idea of 'detachment' and 'segregation' as it acts as a boarder.
