This photograph sits very close to #0111, but the difference matters.
The same face and reclining body are present, yet a small change in expression alters the balance of the picture. The mouth is quieter; the relationship between face, shoulder and empty space feels more suspended.
Photographs made in sequence can reveal how little needs to change before one picture becomes another. A fraction of movement, a breath, a shift of focus or expression can be enough. I would keep #0111 and #0112 together in the collection because their similarity is part of their strength rather than something that needs to be disguised.
