seeing red

Art, like life, is about perspectives, reflections, and creative journeys. This photo reminds me that the image of ourselves can be distorted and reflected back to us in strange ways. 
In a certain light, in a certain situation, we might suddenly look strange, a pale and haunted version of ourselves. It can be startling to see ourselves through the lens of another.

And if I looked up, I would see the starry lights, a different view of the dark night. If I looked beyond, the narrow, dark alley could beckon me forward to a new arrival.

Seeing red could be an invitation to welcome my whole self back into the frame.
