Mother and child

What kind of world is this child growing up in? Straight lines and guard rails imply limits; yellow road markings signal regulation. A parking meter – pay up or be fined. Nothing natural in this world; only a dead plant inside. The pot design and border pattern of the rug in store window remind of an older culture with fewer lines.

Could the red door be an exit? Is it locked, is it forbidden, is it dangerous? Is it too late to turn back and find out?

    I see what you mean with the reflection fascination. Nice image. I think many people never really look at reflections closely enough to see the possibilities. For me they are like a parallel universe.
