Description
I actually had a tough time coming up with something to say about this image beyond the title. I called it "Unzipping" for obvious reasons. And my goal in shooting it was very simple - I thought the graphic nature of the line of the zipper and the metal teeth coming undone would make for a very cool high contrast minimalist photograph. Beyond that, what was there to say?
But after a bit of reflection, I thought the zipper could represent the undoing of civility and respect in our communities. It could also represent the opening of our minds to alternate realities. Or perhaps, if you turn things around, it could be symbolic of the coming together of two opposite sides to create a strong partnership.
While all those interpretations of the photo are valid, in reality, not every image I create has a deeper meaning, at least at the beginning. Sometimes, I just thought it was cool.
Day 298 of my 365 photo a day project.

Congratulations, your creative Minimalist art is featured in the "MINIMALISM 1 A Day" group! 8/18/16
Omaha, NE - United States
Clever. I do like the interest of the teeth, both interlocking and pulled apart. Tones are nice, too. But I think what I enjoyed most about visiting this one was reading your description. If I were you, I would reverse your paragraphs and lead with the second one - we really need it right now as a country and a world! This is one of my two Picks of the Day in the Best of Minimalism in Photography group for July 30.
