"The Favorite" by David Hilliard is a chromogenic triptych, face-mounted to Plexiglas and flush-mounted, a format the artist is renowned for using to expand the boundaries of traditional photography. The three-panel sequential composition creates a wide, cinematic field of view that invites the viewer into an intimate, narrative-driven moment. The luminous quality achieved through the face-mounting process enhances the richness and depth of the colors, drawing the eye across the continuous panoramic scene.
