The single glove sits on a jet black background leaving the glove standing alone in and empty space. It is a left handed glove. The Glove has vain hand stitched in detail running all the way to the finger tips. It appears to be suede, which indicates that the glove is not meant for working but for comfort and style. Also suede is fairly delicate and becomes discolored in water therefore the image seems rather delicate. Other than the black background and the gray glove, the red of the vain is the only color in the image.The solitary nature of the glove suggests to me a sense of isolation. To further intensify the isolation it is a left handed glove. This also signifies difference because the majority of humans are not left handed. The contrast of black, gray, and red along with the very plain feel to the image brings the focus to the center of the image where the vain is thickest and most bright.
This image animates a lifeless object by giving it blood. The glove has blood running through it and therefore must be alive. Although it is alive, it is also lonely. Gloves always come in pairs, except this one stands alone in blackness with no right hand. So what is this glove for? The glove is fragile and seems to serve no purpose. The vain gives it life but other than that is does nothing; it just sits alone in space.
