Sarah Szwajkos

Empty Bedroom by Summer ‘07 contender Sarah Szwajkos

"What we bring into our lives, and how we arrange our space — whether with thought or without care — reveal some of our basic creative urges. People construct shrines with their possessions, and day after day they pray at the altar of their own constructed order. By taking my camera in hand, by looking down onto its ground glass, I find revealed to me the secret order surrounding us — order that we impose to fit our individual lives. In this act, we create order out of chaos."

I feel as if there is a presence in this photo, the fact that the emptyness of the room already gives this eerie feel, it seems as if the dust in the light really gives a whole "children in the corn-esque" feel to the image.
