Burning House


There are two Holy Bibles, three bracelets, a wallet, a cellular phone and a set of keys in this photo and they represent items that I would, undoubtedly and without hesitation, grab if an imminent fire was devouring my neighbor's home and in the process of transitioning to my humble abode. The size of the pictures in the collage and the composition are not relative to the meaning of the overall piece. The majority of the objects displayed in this piece are important because they represent different aspects of life. My wallet is a storage for memorabilia, currency and memories. My cell phone is a means of contact and communication with those I love. My keys unlock the doors to some rooms in my home and the front doors, and the door to my beloved 2003 Infiniti G35. My bracelets are my identity. My bibles are my guiding light and my way to salvation. If my home was in danger of being consumed by a raging and relentless fire, I would unquestionably escape with these five objects. This photo is successful.
