In Light Trim, Benjamine Lester composes a study in balance and quiet tension. The reclining figure’s profile intersects a radiant circle, creating equilibrium between mass and light. The brick wall’s geometry contrasts with the softness of flesh and gesture, evoking a dialogue between order and intimacy. Through controlled composition and subtle illumination, Lester transforms an ordinary barbershop moment into a meditation on vulnerability, care, and the visual poetics of trust.In Untitled (Barbershop Light), Benjamine Lester composes a study in balance and quiet tension.
