“It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite”
–Soren Kierkegaard
When I shot the word “Open” I had no idea where the image was going to take me. But there was something about it that made me slow down, turn around, stop, and take several shots. So an idea was there – even if it was in the subconscious. While processing, I remembered the “Closed” sign I had shot sometime last year and thought the juxaposition of the two images would work really well. I like the yin/yang, day and night, warm & bright versus dark & cool, word play in this piece.
