There definitely is a feeling of grief and vulnerability radiating from this artwork, but also power and a dynamic amount of control. You can get roped into things, and go on for some time in circumstances that are manipulative, unhealthy, or just unhappy. There is the idea that, in a variety of ways, the option to 'disconnect' is always there for anyone to choose. i typically don't explain my deep motivations behind a piece...as i don't want to steal that ownership away from the viewer. you should see the art and make it yours.
that said...i will say this:
everyone has the choice to disconnect. its a universal freedom. there really are no moral or immoral connotations involved in unplugging. in the grand cosmic sense, there is no 'morality'...only here and now and how you feel.
i don't advocate anything, but personal freedom.
in an existence where it's becoming more and more difficult to say how much of what we are is 'immediate' and how much is programmed, the choices we DO have...the really big ones...they're like winks from the universe. we're all a part of the same thing...part divine and part machine...
we can choose to BE...and ironically, that may be displayed in it's grandest form when we choose to 'go back to the well'...
