A stern looking marble bust of a man sits on a carved, multicolored mantel in front of a cracked mirror. A pair of electric sconces flank the mirror, their bulbs glowing atop candle-shaped arms. Gilded bows atop the sconces give the illusion that they have been tied or pinned to the deeply colored wooden paneling. The opulence of the scene is further marred by the reflection of dingy florescent light fixtures and a ceiling covered in peeling paint. The dark reflection of a classical style painting of a woman and infant on the opposite wall floats over the shoulder of the bust, beyond a large fragment of missing mirror, adding an ominous feeling of violence and estrangement.
"The eye, like a shattered mirror, multiplies the images of its sorrow"
-Edgar Allen Poe
The Assignation
Inside of an abandoned mansion, which is thankfully being saved and restored. I love happy endings.
