Collective Unconscious
is a digitally manipulated work intended to rally mental conflict. It emphasizes the physical human form while permitting no physical identity. The identity lies in the contexts of the image. 

This piece is intended to reinforce the idea that the past does live within a collective unconscious. In other words, the past may not physically exist, but it certainly shines in human memory. Iniquity does not care about the identity or epoch of any given being. It only needs a willing host and an indifferent audience.
