I have to admit that this was only a snapshot of an interesting

grating I saw while waiting outside a shop in SOHO. The original

picture did not look this good. This photo has had its color deepend

and the picture was cleaned up using some serious sharpening. What I

liked about the picture is the shape of the little items inside each

individual frames. There are so many "frames" in this picture, each

with its own little world inside it, that I thought this photo was a

reflection of all the little realities we carry around in our each

individual heads, while this outer reality (the true Reality) is

outside this picture and this entire frame. The blue walkway, which

is the path cutting diagonal to the frame is seemingly the path out

of this darkness, but if you notice, it too is bounded the

constraints of the frame. Our path for enlightenment limited by our

own limited contexts of what we think will lead us where we think we

want to go. Maybe I should have called this piece "Expectation".

It's a covering of one of those New York street dumb waiters. The ones that let you access the warehouse underneath a building. The texture and detail in the original photo is excellent...this version truly does not do it justice. Thanks for your comments Javed.

This is a very nice abstract. I like the way it is composed, with the alternance of wide lines which lead in and out of the frame and the texture of small frames which are instead closed on themselves.

 

Your interpretation is quite interesting as well.
