Ryan Gomez | “A Way Out”

This media file is attached to: Photography

The pale green light of an exit sign stands against a mostly black background. A faint glow from the sign defines a vague sense of a room.

I took this photo as part of an assignment to collect images of one color. As I found this sign and worked on composing the shot, I thought about the different things that exit can mean. It can be an escape but also an entrance to something else. It is a beacon of 'next.'

In a dark room, a streak of light forms a swirling script letter R to either side a chain link fence is lightly illuminated by the glow.
