My altered image puts a familiar subject in a new (absence of) light. The original image was taken of a residence in the middle of the night, which I saw as a dead ruin only vaguely nostalgic of the comforting sanctuary homes can be. The photograph didn’t communicate this impression accurately, and I hoped sinking the subject to rest in suffocating depths would better convey the sense of loss associated with rotting remnants of something once intimately valued.
