The first submission evokes pillars of hope and revelation as comfort against a sea of darkness. Here little is as it seems (the image was taken just after Noon in a fast-food restaurant, and features several subtle assymetries); the stark simplicity of form and construction suggests that fine details are irrelevant to understanding and peace.
The second depicts the possibilities of solid, sublime serenity coexistent even amidst a fractured, tortuous environment.
Taken together this pair of photographs illustrates alternate yet largely compatible traditions: one speaks to the unreliability and illusionary nature of reality, while the other embodies the concept of an ultimate answer.
