As a pair these images strongly echo one another's compositions, each resplendent with repeating patterns which, while powerful and essentially dominant, nevertheless serve as background tapestries to the photographs' actual subjects.
The iconic structural contrasts could not be more apropos: one tableau suggests openness, freedom and vision, the other begets a strong sense of confinement and rigidity.
Same planet, different worlds.
