Digital Collage, 2023
As cyan washes starboard, we are reminded that the current state of things is temporary. Microcosms, cities, and galaxies are all unstable entities that foster forces over which we govern little control.
This composition is based on refractions of light interplaying amongst an office-style ceiling light. I fixated on the delicate forms, representations of external light sources, objects, and surfaces, gradually becoming overwhelmed by the encroaching blue.
My perception of what is good, and what is evil, is solely based on ideas engrained in me from my childhood and, by extension, the society that surrounds me. I see here a dark and dreary landscape being overtaken by liquid positivity, banishing the darkness square by square. This perception is symptomatic of my internal beliefs, derived from an equally complex and unstable hierarchy that is just as temporary and open to interpretation as what we see here.
Our conclusions about the respective definitions of good and evil are small, temporary, and frivolous. They eclipse lifetimes, generations, and societies; enormous to ourselves, but microscopic within the universal timeline.
... well?
