I selected this image because it speaks to me about emotion, as I look at each window I wonder what each household is emotionally going through. It's the kind of mystery that I would love to spend some time trying to unravel.
It's the architecture that makes it seem that everything is so close but emotionally there so far apart. Not everything can be hidden behind a pair of glass windows. I know after all the windows are transparent and so are the people trying to hide behind them. It's the negative contrast that makes one be a wanderer. It invites the viewer to pay attention to the little things in everyday life.
His work has been an inspiration to me. I love the emotions I get as I look at each window. The light and shadow of this image reminds me of the battles we go through every day.
