This photograph shows a bank building on a spot that's deep enough to bear the weight of a building that height. It gives a physical representation of how it feels to have a secure footing psychologically and psychically even when all around seems like shifting sand. Finding that sweet spot of security, resilience and persistence can be really difficult and scary when you're lacking that early infant shared attention necessary for healthy human development. While difficult, it's not impossible to find a zone of a feeling of security, contrary to the dogma of thinking in evolutionary psychology. (And here you thought it was a phallic symbol - tsk! tsk! - my goal is to reframe and re-interpret metaphors and symbols so as to overturn the oppression of patriarchy).
