Clay Tower /
Clay Tower is a photo that captures the minute adjustments of a body as a man tries to prevent an improvised clay tower from falling off his knee. The clay tower and the body in the photo construct a sculptural reality that emerges through the changes and movements of the body and its posture for supporting the clay tower and through the time drawn by the body to support such characteristics.
