Note about the picture :

The title, “Departures” represents the as yet undefined transition from one thing to something else. “Evisceration of US” reflects our private, internal “departures” as well as a broader commentary of the current state where it often feels like we are devouring (gutting, if you will) ourselves as a culture and a people. The subject matter of a deer that embodies a violent dichotomy, a reflection of our individual and collective (human and cultural) Janus in the mirror. We kill and dress the deer as necessary sustenance – violence in service of our survival - but we can (and do) also take a life with little regard or forethought out of our sense of entitlement, to buttress our ego and to satisfy the cultural machismo by the incorporation of violence into his and our base identity.

Even though the picture is a simultaneous reflection of his and our Janus –essential modesty vs discretionary arrogance – I think the picture says that at the end of the struggle between these two competing identities, it is the one of vainglory that perseveres leaving modesty and conscience as a pile of discarded entrails on the ground.
