This was cool to look at and try to interpret.
I went from the door lock and it's scratches to the "Faith" sign and back the whole time. It was obvious to me that "FAITH" had some meaning in the image, as well as the door and it's scratches. Nothing else seems to draw my attention as much, so I'm getting the message that nothing else matters as much.
But that was the easy part. It might be related to some american saying or some kind of cultural thing you have going on in english speaking countries, but it was not trivial for me to make the jump to the meaning. One of the interpretations I found: the scratches might mean there were various attempts to open the door, but you never give up trying to open it (faith), until you finally do and reach your goal. So yeah, keep trying and reach your goals by having faith.
Also, you may look at the whole thing as the door still being closed despite the attempts to open it (it seems it is, given the apparent glass in front of the FAITH sign), and then things turn around a bit. Now I've been trying to open the door but with no success, and my faith is behind it, kind of out of reach... or maybe stored away? Anyway, faith seems out of reach in this second case, and the message gets darker to me.
Anyway, it's a puzzling and engaging image, it keeps telling me "there must be a meaning in here", and keeps inviting me to try to interpret it, which is fantastic. Few images had this effect in me to this day. I know you want to tell me something, and I actually enjoy trying to figure it out, decipher it. Many interpretations are possible, and that's beautiful by itself; depending on my current feelings, I come out with something different.
---------------
On other notes, I'd try to make the glass of the door a little bit more obvious, not sure it's possible, but took me some time to realize the door was closed and I was looking through the glass. Or perhaps that was just me, and others grasped this concept faster/easier. But I was much to distracted by the "FAITH" sign and the door lock, I guess.
Loved it.
EDIT: oh yeah, I didn't read any other posts before writing this. Now I did and some comments are similar to yours... so I guess you conveyed your message beautifully!
