He appears on the photographic paper without a discernable face and in a rather awkward position, similar to that of a body diving into water, although the surroundings would make us assume something different. It is as if he has become a curve in a scientific diagram. Our first reaction as viewers might be to ask if this photograph was even possible to make without manipulation, but then we notice the elements that support Mol\u0026rsquo;s body.
