Seeing 2011 (#98)

For your consideration: an oddly disquieting tableau, clad in a few eccentricities . . .

Shadows here are in turns potent yet upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be not quite uniform; vertical channels run up the building's face, yet are both opaque as to function and asymmetrical to what appears to be — what? an impossibly high and acutely misplaced call box? Unlikely, but then again so too the unexpected tear in the container's silhouette.

The coda is provided by a sky which hints at indecisive atmospherics — intruding smoke from a nearby fire? fog burning off or rolling in? a storm gathering . . . or evaporating?

A trivial construction, which leaves ample space for indeterminate conjecture.

(Enjoy: the script is yours!)
