Seeing 2009 (#56)

A stoic, stony-faced observer. It saw me first. I moved on; it remained steadfast and silent at its post.

Another image with subtle symmetries: the lips are echoed by the pipe's braces; the hair's arc is similarly reflected, inversely, by the transversing red tube; the hair's pattern is reinforced by the brick; a pair of bolts mimic those wild eyes . . . even the lighting reflects repetition. As is often the case, there is more here than meets the eye.
