A simple image made up of only two layers can be just as expressive as a multi-layered image. My background layer is a stained glass window, featuring a colorful western scene. It is one of several in the lobby of this building, once Arizona’s tallest. Built in 1928, the Westward Ho was one of Phoenix’s first luxury hotels. It shut down in 1979, and now is used as subsidized housing for disabled and senior citizens. The candelabra lamp in my foreground layer has bulbs glowing in only five of its seven sockets, a symbol of the wear and tear that time has brought to this once glorious structure. Yet the vividly colored scene behind it still evokes a moment of the history that once brought tourists to this hotel. Together, the juxtaposed layers tell the story of both the Old West and a famed hotel that has gracefully faded away.
