Photos and Noodles
It is, people, just a picture to look at and to consider -for whatever it is. The title provides a context, a sense, if you will, of what the image potentially connotes. It does not, obviously and redundantly, denote a water noodle, as in an illustration.
To put it country-simple, the subject is not just noodles. It is, instead, the convenience and allure of plastics and common toxins or, more specifically, a close-up of a witches' brew laced with polyethylene and algaecides cream-whipped to candy-coloured flavours, emblematic of nearly everyone's summer fun since the fifties. The close-up view, colours and overall treatment affords, I would hope, some sense of tension between forces of both repulsion and attraction.
The title, sans the biblical reference, might as well be "the temptation of man", viz. "temptation".
If only we could look at pictures as objects per se and resist the cramping habit of having to look for a subject (as if it were an isolated object depicted in a photo), there would, lo and behold, be nothing to understand or to get.
There would be a photograph as there are stones, birds, a chair as well as instances of love, grief, sorrow, envy or affection.
