Many things in my world have been jarringly out of kilter of late, with numerous dark doors, unclear passages, and wear-and-tear on my spirit. A warehouse of emotions have been flowing, often unbidden, in powerful eddies frequently attended by sensations of undertow.
The journey to come is somewhat bereft of navigational markers; as the days ahead unfold I shall be drawing deeply on inner resources which have been long hibernating in storage, tools with which to find my way through skewed psychic corridors.
The main reason for this particular composition has everything to do with the minimalist design on the shirt: while echoed in color by the metal door, it is otherwise diametrically opposed in form to the myriad of rectangular lines and sharp angles which predominate the scene.
An example of the power of a small detail to draw disproportionate attention.
