The foliage is made to look like metal work, much like the Mayans and Incans did. I twisted parts of the petals, then blew a digital breeze across them with such force that at places individual pixels came loose. The frame is made from four heavy pieces of poplar, that are actually joined in the traditional fashion in angled corners. I shaped them to evoke interlocking peace pipes and carefully used dark walnut stain in a gradient to separate the pipes visually.

The overall message of the piece is about how digital technology even with all of its networking and social media still seems to leave us alone and separated. We need to engage in more natural, primitive social contact in order to maintain emotional and psychological health and happiness: The Tribal Dance.

Image is museum quality printed on canvas which is stretched on a 25″ x 25″ custom frame. The overall dimensions of the piece are 31-1/2″ x 31-1/2″ x 2″.
