EQUALITY (Skull Piece)

Skulls have often been associated with darkness, and facing our own mortality. However, they're also something that every human on the planet has in common, and it could be argued that they even contain our humanity itself. No matter your skin tone, gender, age, attractiveness, power, or wealth, we're all the same inside. Life, much like a heartbeat or the stock market, has it's ups and downs, and like the pixels that make up the skull in this image it's becoming more digital by the day. Skulls may show us death, but they also prove there was life.

OPTIMISM (Cloud Piece)

Even the darkest of clouds are bright and fluffy on top. Above the clouds nothing really matters. Each one a unique, imagination inducing, massive form created by millions of smaller parts from around the world, proving that small things can add up to become more than the individual. They hang in the sky seemingly motionless at times, but constantly swirling and ever changing. A captured moment in time singular to the viewer.

INTERCONNECTION (Ocean Piece)

The ocean is a series of contradictions: Giver and taker of life, calming yet relentless, soothing one day but brutal the next. Water flows through us all. We need it to survive, yet we pollute the waterways causing wildlife to die, and acid rain to fall from the clouds. Basic human rights include access to clean water, but sly marketing has people buying plastic bottles full of it from corporations, who in turn destroy the very environment it comes from just to raise their stocks a few points.

ATTENTIVENESS (Leaf Piece)

Much like humans, houseplants need care and attention to survive. Overstimulation from the world around us through ads, news outlets, governments, and social media has made us as a society lose focus, and dulled common sense. The need for constant information, and new content through catered online presences has allowed false information to easily slip through, and cause doubt. People have become quick to believe everything they consume, looking, but not seeing what's going on around them. Are you paying attention to the details behind the scenes, or just what's forced in front of you?
