Minimalism as in Repeating Shapes

Though I have titled this photo as The Missing Window Pane, I also have another interpretation of it.
I looked for a meaning for this photograph within my Sub-conscious mind. When I did, I realized this relates to my real life story.
I had a girl friend back in 2003, with whom I were to get married. But since she was elder to me by a couple of years and was already working, things did not work out the way I had thought. Her parents wanted her to get married asap but I had plan to fly to Bangalore for my MBA Degree.
I was left with a tough choice, whether to fly to Bangalore for higher education or Simply Marry her. I chose to get a Degree, based on the assumption that its true love and she would happily wait.
But, since I moved to a far off location from my city, our relationship turned into a long distance one.
Soon, there were misunderstandings and many a times I flew back home to clarify. But one day it all ended abruptly. We had a big misunderstanding, which I could not sort out. Along with that, her ego got hurt. I kept asking her to give me One Last Chance to Clarify and Explain, but She refused.
The Missing Window Pane above is that Missing Last Chance, she never gave me. If she had, life would have been different.
That said, I would like to thank her as well, as This art i.e. Minimalist Photography, that I do today, is because of her.
OK, Long emotional story ! NO
I have long forgotten her for good :) I have learned to move-on.
Move-on, just reminded me to move-on quickly to the Composition.
Composition Highlights
The Shot above Falls under the Minimalism as in Repeating Shapes Category of Minimalist Photography. What made me click this shot, was the one Missing Window Pane.
It broke the repetition very beautifully.
Also the Reflections in the window creates nice visual abstraction. It somewhat sparks a feeling of nostalgia.
Another way to look at the picture is In Terms of Shapes. These are 4 Vertical Rectangles in Repetition.
The One Curve made my the Electrical Wire coming out from the 3rd Missing Window Pane, also breaks nicely the visual symmetry.
So, Those were the Photo Highlights. Hope that you enjoyed the Shot.
See you around next time ! Comments and Feedback Welcomed !
PS: ...by the way this photograph deserves a poem (well..more than a haiku). If I was a poet, I would have written one.
