"Erotos" is praised by critics as one of the most extraordinary projects by the legendary photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. In his repertoire of motifs, in his narrative mode, and in his photographic composition, he deviates significantly from his usual canon. In high-contrast close-ups of captivating sharpness, which he achieves through flashed macro photography, he primarily shows body parts as well as shining pipes, fruits, sidewalk cracks, or flowers, plunging deep into the erotic subconscious.

明胶银盐照片，2021年印制在双重重量的半哑光纸上，尺寸为60.8 x 50.4 cm，状况极佳。艺术家在背面用铅笔签名。《Erotos》被评论家誉为传奇摄影师荒木经惟最非凡的作品之一。在他的主题曲目、叙事模式和摄影构图中，他显著偏离了他通常的规范。在高对比度的极其清晰的特写镜头中，他通过闪光微距摄影实现，主要展示了身体部位以及闪亮的管道、水果、人行道裂缝或花朵，深入探讨了情色的潜意识。
