A ship’s anchor in weathered gold, shot so close the rust becomes topography — every pit and flake rendered like a landscape. Behind it, the hull falls away into deep, working blue. Gil Mares photographs machines the way portraitists photograph people: up close, unflinching, fond. It reads like a portrait of something that spent its life holding on.
