Couple Kissing on Bench, Battery Park, New York City
A couple is photographed in an impassioned kiss on a marble benches in Battery Park. Others are performing normal weekend activities at the Battery Garden restaurant. The photograph shows a contrast to the intensity of the absorption of the couple. In the background of the photograph, towers of the New York City Financial District loom over the setting, somber and monumental. The couple become involuntary actors within the cultural and historical framework of their surroundings.
