Warm light and deep morning shadows mark the start of a new day. What will that day bring? I use the deep shadows blanketing the foreground to suggest that question. The warmth embracing both this woman and the house she is emerging from represents the comfort and security of the known, while heavy shadows signify the mysterious and the unknown. The interplay of light and shadow are working together as symbols for meaning in this image, as are the two doors, which suggest differing options. I intended this image as an expression about the choices we face, the mysteries that await us, and the chances we take.
