STEEL AND SKIN

Beneath the steel ribs of the Bir Hakeim bridge in Paris, Anthony Pol’s form soars with defiant precision, capturing a moment that is both a testament to his craft and a statement of resilience. His body, extended in a perfect horizontal split, contrasts the symmetry and rigid strength of the iron beams, yet echoes their grace. His gaze is fierce, his limbs aligned with the architecture, as if he’s woven himself into the very framework of the city, bridging two worlds: the raw streets of Cartagena and the iconic avenues of Paris.

Shot in black and white, the photograph emphasizes the textures of both dancer and bridge—the sinew of human ambition meeting the unyielding metal of the urban landscape. The leading lines draw the viewer’s eyes to Anthony’s face, a focal point of intensity amid the symmetry, while the muted tones allow the viewer to feel the timelessness of the moment.
