Something so powerful in the way this image presents, where the the younger they are the ‘brighter’, more forward and more detailed they appear… As if this life is wringing out of each as they age and are exposed to it more. The adult males seem to have it the worst in this scenario; shadowy, dark, corroded, lurking and menacing. Feels like that was true.
