Here we have polarized but related figures. They are bound from the head but face opposite directions. Their arms stretch to reach but don’t touch, showing both longing and resistance. The egg shows differences in life and thought, both being circular. The egg also represents our world, the universe. It balances tediously on thorns that could break at any moment
I often drive back and forth between here and Denver. On every drive for the past 14 years, I see a sign that says, “kill relativism,” and it leaves me with a shudder. Relativism is “ the doctrine that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute.” With the uptick of divisive politics over the last decade, I’m left to wonder if we are headed towards a world where subjectivity and nuance no longer exist.
Process
I created this work for those who understand through lived experience that diversity enriches society and gives depth to what would otherwise be a flat existence
