these images are comments on  the virus, The dividing of our country, the existential threat to our planet.and my own grateful place in all of that

The aluminum reflects the surroundings in the same way that this work reflects back and abstracts current events.

I think about the Animi Mundi; World Soul, an intrinsic connection between all living things and the planet they live on, rather like the soul and the body.

The reality is messier than that and there is anger here too.
