Caught in The Spiral

"Caught in the Spiral" captures the iconic spiral staircase at the Vatican Museums, with its ornate banister and mesmerizing design. The vivid oranges and pinks add a surreal, cinematic quality, reminiscent of visual motifs in Alfred Hitchcock's films, such as Vertigo. Hitchcock often used spirals to evoke disorientation, psychological depth, and tension—feelings that resonate with the viewer in this image as they are drawn into the seemingly endless descent of the staircase. The composition masterfully blends art, architecture, and a hint of cinematic suspense.
