LIFE ON THE SHELF, photography by VIVA Anderson - a metaphoric allegory about life when it passes you by and you've outlived your usefulness::this is how it looks, symbolically, to me. An allegorical treatise. Here, the marks of the slings and arrows of discontent, life's disappointments, now
etched into the surface of these 'decorator' pears, found 'on the shelf' at a fav. restaurant.
They captured my imagination! I understood their despair, I changed nothing. One can't !!

A poignantly stark & wise allegory. Particularly moving for me about this image is lower quadrant in which subdued colors and light shimmer a kind of hidden grace.
