Sometimes for larger scale projects I will require a few friends\/assistants to help with an image, so those types of images were put off until later, but for \u201cConduit\u201d other than having my girlfriend help wrap the wires around me for some of the image the rest was done entirely alone. I\u2019ve wanted to create something with a power line for a while and aimed to create something to probe at themes of power, humans&#8217; relationship with power, and to use a bit of religious iconography as well at the same time. I typically like to leave my images open ended to allow viewers to project their own subjective associations on an image as opposed to having 1 set \u201cnarrative\u201d for an image.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c13943 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7c13943\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0f6c101 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0f6c101\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-00d2cfb\" data-id=\"00d2cfb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffa1932 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ffa1932\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset-819x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6769\" alt=\"Conduit by Sean Mundy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset-600x750.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.agneselect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-asset.webp 1229w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Conduit, Sean Mundy<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a97e2e1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a97e2e1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d84ec47\" data-id=\"d84ec47\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91f76f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"91f76f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64cfbf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"64cfbf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Q: How did you started creating surreal artworks through digital manipulation?

That being said, sometimes it is just nice to create art with no specific purpose in mind other than to create something beautiful to (hopefully) be appreciated by others; there are many reasons to be sad \/ anxious about the state of the world but also very many good and beautiful things, and I think art is something that should be cherished and supported however
