The House of the Broken Sun


With the building looking like it is being turned to dust and the sky never-ending, full of stars and openness, "The House of the Broken Sun" photo offers a beauty of lost hope and a questionable future.

The sulking tragedy of something once so great, stands here looking like an apathetic and numb house being carried away with the winds. Trailing up the picture, the repetitive lines on ribbed exterior walls of the house create a disorienting gravity. Following the corner that leads to the sky, looks almost like an extraterrestrial atmosphere; it expresses uncertainty and a level of discomfort. Leading towards the bruised yellow sun ties the photograph together, which is what the eye first witnesses when looking at the photo. Despite the disheartened mood set off from the photo, the never ending circular motion of eyes trailing around the photograph is what makes this picture pleasently sentimental and sincere.

  1. I really liked your first sentence. Your writing is so descriptive! I wished the picture was posted too though. It looks like there's a broken link or something. Maybe its just my computer?
