Seeing 2011 (#146)

For your consideration: a local's discarded, neglected cabinet, material which devolved to furnish my observation of it as an appealing objet d'art.

This composition serves to further my astonishment at the mind's ability to recognize patterns, even amidst chaos. Significantly cropped to more tightly focus on texture, nonetheless enough visual references exist to render this scene immediately identifiable as a common bedroom piece. Ironically, the small handle, being the singular element utterly devoid of both texture and color, provides the convincing argument enabling this recognition.
