Reflection: Hope

As I take a step back and look at the photograph it truly makes me think of the one lonely light; which remains shining brightly in a hole of darkness. The image is over taken by darkness and the light is a sense of hope. Although it is surrounded by darkness the light does not loose its power but the power is gained from the hope that there is some form of light; hope, inspiration or driving forces. The image has a very powerful message; there is always more than what first meets the eye.
When all appears to be dark, there is a light that shines from the darkened point which is feared of being over taken by a cloud of dark haze. The light which I refer to is not only talking about this image but is also manifested in life. All appears to be lost in the dark, there is always a way to pull from the “light”, to find a way to continue or at least the ability to see that not all is lost in the dark but that there is also a light to stem from. I believe this to be true in this image (piece of “art”) and in life as seen in the image there may be more darkness but by far the light is the overpowering force from within. The light I find to also have an element of mystique; the viewer does not truly know what this light is, it is not clearly portrayed, leaving the deep meaning to the viewer.
