Shattering Glass And Breaking Barriers

Breaking glass has many conceptual applications ranging from the unexpected to criminal activity to dramatic change. Breaking barriers also comes to mind as does busting through the glass ceiling and blowing up convention and embracing new ideas. Whatever the message, the image of shattering glass grabs our attentions. There is inherent danger with tumbling shards and fragments of glass, something ingrained in our subconscious minds, a fact that makes us sit up and take notice. Yet who among us hasn't dropped a glass or broken a window in our childhood carelessness? There is just enough danger in the image to grab our attention, but not so much that we recoil away. Rather the image compels us to read further and find out just what this message is all about.
