It is incongruous and ironic to see a single couch within a vast space, such as this one placed in a lobby serving the thousands of people who use the sleek new Phoenix Convention Center. It is a matter of scale incongruity – a gesture of hospitality intended more as a gracious symbol than serious comfort for the masses. (Hey, only one person at a time could sit back on this couch and relax.) I found that single couch standing alone, empty and forlorn. I stress such loneliness by converting the image to black and white, removing the bright color of the couch and moving it to the top of the frame. I fill the space below the couch with shimmering floor reflections that seem ready to swallow it whole. The image becomes a symbol of a dysfunctional modern world.
