Windows on the world (17)

Birmingham, 2008
Here is a brief reminder of the thinking behind the 'Windows on the world' series:
As each of us view life from our own perspective, each photograph in this series features a foreground object providing a frame for what can be viewed beyond. As there is always something beyond our immediate frame of reference, each photograph in this series features something that can be glimpsed beyond the foreground image. By framing what is beyond, the photograph acts as a window on a part of our world and at the same time signals the presence of the beyond, thereby also acting as a window onto the divine in a way the way similar to that achieved by icons.

I love that sculpture - did you do it or just photograph it? It reminds me of the ones they made from dead trees in the Carribbean where they transformed the dumping ground.

It is a piece by Juginder Lamba that is included in the 'Body & Soul' exhibition which is currently in Birmingham. My post about the exhibition is at: http://joninbetween.blogspot.com/2008/08/body-soul.html
