There is much to love about this piece by Jonathan Harris. The blue and red tint, the subversive holy ambience, the pun on the bible (my interpretation), the symmetry underlying the ruination, the opposing forces of decreasing clarity of details and increasing revelation of flesh toward the center, the sly act of scripting this story in advance, the simultaneous depiction of phases that people who attend art events move through, the apparent confusion blended with the intractable, destined paths on which we converge, the foreboding of sex and shattered dreams.

I felt harpooned. Which is more epic, the experience of the whale hunt, or the experience of the interface?

An exploration of human emotion. The work of Jonathan Harris is amazing!
