These numbers are important to me because they are part of a puzzle which I have yet to solve even after three years. They represent a challenge to me, the importance of always challenging yourself in order to become a better person. Even if you don't accomplish your goal the experience can be just as important. Numbers and in turn math is also something I have always struggled with in school. Once again representing a challenge. These photographs are supposed to convey a feeling of challenge as especially with the on where the are stacked on top of each other showing there are many steps to each challenge.
From a young age cards have been a huge part of my life. My grandparents are huge card players and I always play at least one game when I go to their house. For me cards can represent family and something close to my heart. However, at the same time I associate cards with mystery and smoke filled casinos like you see in the movies. Conveying a sense of mystery and suspense. I tried to convey a sense of both of these through these pictures.
