The Human Connection

The main idea behind this piece comes from a hypothetical i had on the power of human intimacy-the very fullness of its desire being revealed through the deprivation thereof. what if all the world suddenly shook and there appeared a chasm in the form of a ring down the center-around the globe? (in this hypothetical there are no bridge-making technologies...or axes to cut down those trees :) friends and family would be separated, hearts would be broken and all attention would be devoted to the reuniting of us all. people would come in droves to all the places of connection on earth. These places would be greatly sought after, and revered as sacred. Each of these they would title: Connection, and to but touch the fingers of the ones they love would make their travels all worth while. That which was felt there would be the holy moment they would treasure until the next connection arrived in the form of another simple touch. this is simply demonstrating the potential drive for man kind to feel and be felt, to know and be known, to love and be loved. The next person who reaches across a Connection for me, i hope i will also be there reaching for them with equal strain.

Notice the point of connection, there are green leaves. are there green leaves anywhere else? this represents all the life found in that moment.

I made this for my friend Roni last year.
