Response to Wexner Center

I went to the Wexner Center to see the exhibition of Annie Leibovitz. There were many interesting photos taken by her. Most of her pictures are focus on portraits such as the politicians, the stars and someone I couldn't call the name. What impressed me most is the different expressions of the individuals. President Obama and his wife were smiling confidently in the photos, while on the other side of the wall, Queen Elizabeth was standing there gracefully and seriously in the photo.

And my favourite photo there is the one called Soledad Prison which was took at the Chritsmas Day. Although the photo is a black-and-white photo, I could imagine the rain drop fall on people's clothes and hair. However, nobody cares that as there all kissing or hugging their lovers and families. It might be a precious chance for them to meet each other. The conflict at that moment between the prison and the warm scene gave me the more intensive feeling about love. I stood at that photo for a very long time. I thought I would miss my families much after that. In fact, I felt that my homesickness was crued a little. I don't know why. But I should see sometimes art has its own magic to me. And this experience is so meaningful to me.
