Candle Afloat
The BrynOh's Virginia Alone build really struck me when I first saw it. I took time to read about Virginia's story. I listened to her recordings and walked through the gorgeous recreation of her home. The years of life lived deep inside her own mind inspired me and I really wanted to show the beauty that was also part of her world, both the things we could see and the things that were purely hers...alone. I saw an entire realm inside her reality, things existing where they should not have been but once noted where exactly right and made more beautiful from the brightness of her imagining. I do not feel her condition is lovely from a conventional point of view but I think there were moments of beauty and they deserved to be captured, These pictures are my dreams, my wishes for her, that she saw points of time like these.
