Packed

All packed and waiting to go.

There is a sense of potency in this photo, almost as if something was or should happen. Even the title of the post is in the past tense, suggesting that any action has already taken place but not that any tension has past. In fact, the contrary is true. To a large extent, any picture of modern life stages the ambivalence of pacified tensions and conflicts. Situations of constraint and apparently inescapable alienation, waiting to be liberated, to explode.
