Wolfgang Tillmans

 

 
 
From first glance, this photograph resembles a tree inside a tea cup - which of course captured my attention immediately. It took me some time to work out that the seemingly serene and beautiful tree inside a teacup was infact a layer of cracked mold. The impact of the realisation that something that I thought was beautiful was actually disgusting was brilliant, which is why I chose this photo. The ability to create this shock is genius, something that all photography should aim to do.
