The Elopement

In The Elopement, two anonymous figures are seen from behind as they prepare to sail off into Lake Como. Their intimacy is not loud, rather expressed through small acts: their dress shoes replaced with sneakers, a pink blazer slipped over a wedding dress, a sturdy black backpack shouldered with intent. These are not grand gestures, but quiet enactments of the elopement. If it weren’t for the veil, you might not even know.
