Photograph Your Fears Project
Gottfried Helnwein Part 1 and 2
I believe that this image taken by Gottfried Helnwein depicts a man working on a mural or billboard.

i love that this photo was not difficult to understand and i also felt like i could relate to you're fear i like that you put the words in the light as well
