a lock is not to lock

i work at school cafe, so that i use staff lockers all the time.
i discover that even i use a lock to lock the locker,
i can still able open the locker without using a key.
the lock is easy to open when i just push up the door a little bit.

Then, a lock lost its function.
But, it becomes a sign or a warning to other people.
It is a sign that means someone already used that locker,
and it becomes a warning to people to not to open the locker.

the lock lost its physical function,
but it still kept the people away from that locker.
Sometimes, maybe a sign of something is more important than its actual function.

San Francisco: wood junction


The trunk was cut off into the shape of junction between two bones.
it was interesting to turn a subject into another material.
This trunk contained a characteristic of human's body,
so should it still be a wood or human's part?

San Francisco: Arneson, California Artist


This sculpture is named " California Artist, made by Arneson.
This artwork is a great representative of California statue.
After i took picture with this status,
i have a prove of visiting California.
An artwork can really represent a place,
just like the statue of liberty,
which is presenting New York City.
