Old corrugated cardboard cartons have been stuffed into this boarded up window to keep the weather at bay. From the scorch marks, it seems as if they had fire to cope with as well. The sight is an ugly one, yet the warm colors of my image raise it to a form of beauty. After all, fragments of those cartons, and the window they have tried to protect, are still there, aren’t they? The lesson is clear. Sometimes beauty can be found in otherwise coarse and mundane objects.
