It is repetition that makes these images so interesting, and so numbing. The same motive, the same composition, the same place. Again and again, like the tide, wearing us down, relentlessly. The mind tires, our attention waning. We know what to expect by now, and yet, we are not so sure anymore quite what we are looking at.
