Looks like the photographer is actually talking about the second photograph. But I love that because the featured photograph remains a mystery. Which is apt, given its somewhat surreal quality. Just discovered this site, and I love it. Thanks for the work of this curation.
Thank you for close reading, Chinwe, and for subscribing. You are right: the photographer is speaking about a different image than the one featured (it's, in fact, the first image in the section after the statement).
Now, I'll admit my error: after I got back the responses, I assumed Ngadi was responding to the photo I wrote about. I didn't realize the extent of my blindspot—despite multiple rounds of proofreading—until the newsletter went out. But, the error is illuminating, and as you say, let the mystery stand.
