Playing nice and telling the truth.
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007Accountability and Transparency, where have we heard those words?
Trust is a very odd thing, isn’t it? Once it’s broken, like this window, it can’t really be repaired, only replaced and the memory of the broken window will last for a long time. I’m not sure how broken trust as a concept can be made visual, but thought this was a good start. Broken trust brings up larger issues and reminds me of this fable of the Scorpion and the Frog. As an optimist I think the fable makes a strong argument for going outside of our nature, for positive change.
I found this cracked window at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC. I don’t know why the window was broken, it might have been because the building is round and supported on pilings and has many visitors.
