Week #9 - It's Red


This is something I see often. Red break lights in traffic. Since daylight saving, the sun is going down earlier and break lights can be seen with more intensity since it is darker out. Often times, if I see a sea of red lights, it is a sign that I should avoid it and turn away, but on this day, I wanted to just get home.

For me, the red blurry break lights represent a barricade and road rage. The feelings evoke a frustration, but knowing what the red lights mean, I must accept my fate. I will be in traffic for a while. This means, I must calm myself and submit to the fact that nothing can be done except to have patience. The dusk light in the sky with the blues, lavenders, yellows, and oranges juxtapose what is directly in front of me. It makes me feel as if there is hope and it will bypass.
