Nikki S Lee has also introduced a conspicuous formal device: every picture has been cropped from a larger original so that all but the hand or arm of a male companion has been eliminated. This makes them like photographs saved by someone who wants to consign an unhappy love affair to oblivion. Yet the memory of the old boyfriend is not dispelled; the cropping makes you think as much about what is missing as about what is present.
Nikki s S Lee crops out the partners in these images as the name parts show she is only showing part of the image. The top left image make you think if the couple are have an argument because she is sat quite far away from her partner and looking away like she is annoyed.
