Rick’s portrait was next but not as positive as Janet’s. Rick’s demeanor was so different. He had been homeless for years and it had taken an incredible toll. The drugs didn’t help his circumstances at all. It was as if he had lost all hope. I never saw him smile. He was very quiet and talked very little. He was just enduring his life until it was over. The image layout was similar with his portrait in the center. The four corners of his portrait had playing card suits, heart, spade, diamond, and club. Alluding that life can be a game of chance and the stakes are really high. The choices we make determine much of what our lives will be like and to make changes when your choices have set your life can be almost impossible. There is a fallen bird as part of the image. The fragile nature of birds and Rick’s life are similar. The words “When happiness falls “ are written upside down at the bottom.
