Hope: In The Form Of A Building

In this image, the combining of two distinct subjects represents a sort of metaphor. The BC Cancer Research building in Vancouver, is fronted by a tree silhouette that looks as if it is permeating the buildings structure. And, the exterior design takes on the shape of individual cells supported by the facade. After meeting with a number of people, it felt important to say something about this facility that might reach others.

 

While this is just a building, for many it represents a sense of hope. I remember one person asking me what I was looking at while working my angles. I replied, "the building". He pushed off with a distinct question mark tattooed to his face. Another person who had been standing next to me quietly uttered three words, "I see it" was all he said. That is among the most enjoyable attributes with respect to photography, sometimes we look and sometimes we see.
