Statement

a conceptual surealist piece using digital art as a form of documentation and the means to communicate the idea


this is not a tie
nor is it a picture of a tie

it is a visualization of speech
an except from a larger conversation

ties that bind us?, together?

or ties that blind us

blind us from perceiving greater truth


tie: to bind with rope
tie: a traditional formal business accessory
tie: to tie, when the two opposing teams end the game in a tie
etc.


the words add an insight to the deeper/larger conversation
words like Religion, Nationalism, Racism, Sexism, Ignorance...

so when viewing you can take note of each topic and measure where you stand. And ask yourself:

who am I
what have I become
what do I want to be

who are we
what have we become
what do I want to us be

for me the tie represents the myriad of narrow views that contribute to the chaotic state we see in the world - today and for millenium

we find ourselves at odds with each other warring tribes
bound by fundamental ties (religious, cultural and or political)


I put tough topics right out there for one to ponder
In the hopes you find inspiration
