Nobody Home

[alterEGO]

Hi 3dm3,

I think this is my first post ever in these forums. So, greetings to all!

This image is called "Nobody Home" as it deals with the theme of desertion/abandon. An abandoned house with nothing but the memories of a family who stayed here. There's no child to play on the swings. No kid to zip around in his bike. The rake's unused for sometime now. The grass has grown and the ivy is making its way into the house. Is there really nobody home?

We initially planned this as part of a montage where we wanted to show a series of abandoned places. Where humans aren't present anymore but by their sheer absence, they have left behind such memories that they make their presence felt. Locations which are a character unto themselves and tell a melancholic story.
