Week #2 Stairway to...?

While proceeding to walk out of a parking garage I was confronted by a stairwell with an interesting design shadowed upon it. Normally I am intrigued by warm colors, softer lines and nature however the cleanliness and angularity of the stairs being danced upon by the shadows made me pause. The grey color of the stairs gave me a feeling of coldness and an indication of a void or absence of compassion. The yellow paint popped off the concrete resounding a cautionary warning. Where did the stairs lead? I knew where I was going however the image made me feel as if I was going somewhere official, sterile and not very welcoming. Was I going to be persecuted, judged or worse?
The horizontal lines of the stairs were intersected by snaking shadows that seemed to slither upward to my destination. The thinner shadows indicated the possibility of imprisonment or confinement in the distance. The grey shadows were leading me onward to a destination that I felt I would be not welcoming however once there I would not be able to descend back down the staircase to my origin.
This picture makes me visualize a figure or a number of figures in a vast sterile cool space lit in such a manner that they cast long ominous still shadows.  Another figure less imposing would have to confront and past these imposing shadows in hopes of reaching a destination full of the unknown.
