I really like this image by Barbara Karant because I think it has a really interesting composition and I love the use of pattern and repetition and the lines carry your eye throughout the photo. In addition to this there is a lot of movement in this photo with the light that carries my eye across and then up and connects to the spiral in the background of the image. 
Karant really emphasized the colors in this photo and brought out the reds. Because the majority of the photo is in different shades of black and white, the red is very prominent in the photo. The red areas also help to carry your eye to different spots of the photo and show a lot of variety. This photo made me think of chaos and stress because of the different shapes and my eye didn't know where to settle while looking at the image, the different shapes helped to enforce this. Red enforced this as well because it is a color frequently associated with stress.
