Seeing 2012 (#12)

For your consideration: a case of terminal alienation, perhaps tinged with a deliberate obliviousness.

An acute sense of emptiness pervades this scene, set on the outer fringe of a metropolis built to be a magnet for against-all-odds riches and an endless supply of spontaneous, casual social bonding (with their attendant opportunities and eventual consequences) . . .

The windows create a sky filled with impotent rays of hope, mocking the potential for any desired interactions between the players. Certainly this was but one of an oversupply of missed connections.
