Concordance

The thing: An image of a snake in a kitchen.
Seen: Olive-brown body, pale collar, tile grout, a wooden chair leg, daylight.

Miss: Snake = transformation is a translation that leaves this snake behind.
One question remains: What does this image mean to you personally, and what else might it be doing?
