For this photo, I wanted to give the sensation of falling. I wanted to gather interest in the middle of the frame, since that is what you would actually be going towards if you were to fall, so I played on the sloping lines to point right to it. I also made that area the lightest so that the eye is immediately drawn to it.
As far as the concept goes, it is obviously about stairs. When I was in the seventh grade, my family set up a room for me in the basement so that my sister didn't have to share a room anymore. Which was fine by me (she was a HORRIBLE roommate) except for the fact that I was terrified of the dark. Either way, I was a klutz then, and while rushing up and down the stairs I would often slip and slide down them. It kind of became the norm, and I guess I got better at catching myself as I would slip. I wanted to recreate that rushed, panicked feeling since it still happens to me today. These are the stairs leading up to my room and I have almost fallen down them many times. I am still klutzy and run up down stairs everyday, but I am much better at keeping myself from getting hurt in the process.
