I made this image from outside the theatre, pressing my lens close against a glass door to avoid reflections. I limited the image to the information within the ornate tiling around a door to an inner lobby. I built the image around the dazzling window within that door, an area full of of reds, oranges, and purples appearing almost as stained glass. The deep purple mass near the center of this colorful pane might represent a person – it is so abstract that it could also be simply an exercise in color. This image asks more questions than it answers, which is one of the principal functions of abstract photography. It is all about illusion, which also happens to be the essence of theatre.
