The Yellow Door
A door is easily understood as representing a point of
transition from one environment to another. When one door shuts, another opens.
Doubtful, but we know what the metaphor means. Doors take us from inside to
outside, or vice-versa, or from the sociability of the living room to the
intimacy of the bedroom. This power to change our environment means that doors
can suggest hope, opportunity, invitation, or, when shut, the loss of any of
these. But doors always represent a transition
from one environment to another, and any programmer knows what often
accompanies an unplanned change of environment. You can lose all your context.
When you pass through a door in software, you might say, you forget the details
of the room you just left. Sometimes, as we go through life it is
necessary to open a new door and forget the details of what was occupied in the
previous door. As I photographed The Yellow Door, I hoped to show the
adaptability, possibilities and mysteriousness of what can lie behind any door
we come to. Yellow is a color of vibrancy, like the yellow sun, the doors we encounter are ever-changing and evolving while never leaving our light, just perhaps our sight.
“Ask
and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For
everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks,
the door will
be opened.” – Matthew 7:7
