Honorable Mention
Fire Escapism II
DESCRIPTION
This is the second of my series of New York fire escapes. I particularly love the green & red contrast and as a small touch of human presence I blended in my son who is reading a Harry Potter book. The series is meant as an uplifting collection to escape from the everyday reality into an imaginary world of rhythm, color and creative joy. The reading child is also meant as a metaphor for expanding one's imagination through reading books. AUTHOR
