This collection of peoples hands wearing rings through Melbournes CBD presents not only a collection of peoples personal taste and jewellery collection, but also aspects of their personality, and daily life.

Even if you take out the main feature of the collection, being the rings, you can notice the diverse ethnicity of city goers, even if this is just through the varying skin tone of the subjects. You can also get an idea of the variety of age in the city, with there being a range from smooth to more wrinkled skin. This also conveys a personality of each of the particular subjects.

When the individuals rings are included in the interpretation you can see a variation from more simplistic and subtle jewellery to more overt and statement pieces, with varying colour, shape, and symbols. Some photographs also include a glimpse at an item of clothing, such as a checkered shirt or baggy sweatshirt, indicating the many different reasons for venturing into the city.

I also feel that the photographs hold a level of mystery and encourage curiosity/thought due to the absence of the subjects faces. You feel you gain a certain level of information about somebody but cannot identify what they actually look like.

For extra-analysis, I have chosen the bottom photograph. This image is recognisable as being an older man. in addition to the noticeably more aged hand, you also get a glimpse at his attire. this builds the personality of the subject as we see he is wearing quite conservative clothing. This is recognisable through the leather shoes, dark green sweater, and black pants. it appears as if he has been stereotypically dressed as an older person, however the subtle pinky ring is a slight stray from the rest of his outfit. The image also presents that the subject is sitting down on a dirty section of the street, a contrast to his more formal and clean attire.
