Description:
This work is a summed up exactly by this section of dialogue from the movie “Waking the dead.” As a man re-plays conversations between himself and a loved one after her passing, he finally understands her fears.
“I don’t want to watch you turn into a cog in there machine.”
“Sometimes cogs can make machines run better.”
“Sometimes.”
“Yes.”
“Mostly they turn in circles and wear out, then they get replaced.”

Make yourself irreplaceable.

Thanks!
I would like you to see this one in person, sara. I would like to hear your comments.
I just got to see some of your work for he first time in the gallery waiting for the honors show judgement. I was happy because I got to feel the texture (with my eyes) that I didn't get to with your photographs.
Good work!
