National Bakery, El Paso, Texas, 2014

I based this image on the rhythms created by the abundant triangles that flow through it. The sign’s support is triangular, and its struts create numerous triangles within triangles. Triangles even appear at the base of the image, as a series of canopy supports move across the frame. The design of the vintage sign itself speaks of El Paso history – generations of residents have shopped here over the years. I assume that the sign is illuminated at night, not only proclaiming the name of the business in lights, but also its product – a bakery chef holds a birthday cake, marked by four candles. To complete the story, a bird has taken up temporary residence just under the cake, while other birds fly past the sign.
