Seeing 1 (page 94)

The first object that draws my attention in Pepon Osorio's creation is the bed. The objects that draw my attention are the ones with bigger body surfaces like the white mural of the boys face or the little pictures covering the back wall. I notice that each object has a lot of color but mostly dark colors like red, navy and black. This boy is definitely a basketball and a Bruce Lee fan. There are posters and basketballs everywhere. Osorio's style is to create an atmosphere that shows the viewer the complete purpose right from the beginning. Clearly you can see what the teenager likes and doesn't like, what his interests and hobbies are and how he lives his life. His style is busy and full of color. It also seems very realistic. Not a lot of teenager boys would have a made bed.
