This image is part of a series I did on the concept of transcendence. This image symbolizes an escape from sequestration. Sequestration in this sense signifies a withdrawal into a false reality that is simply given. There are many aspects in society that can distract a person from the things that are essential to that individual’s wholeness and overall well-being.

In these institutions a person’s individuality is restricted, discouraged, or isn’t even allowed to flourish at all. In relationships there may be parents or a spouse that restricts or inhibits the growth of a person’s character and identity. Looking overall at the image we see the building looks very run down. There are tombstones and dead grass on in the courtyard. These things point to the restricted and lifeless existence inside sequestration. The building and courtyard surrounding it represent sequestration itself while the area beyond the building and courtyard represent a life outside sequestration. The open window and ladder symbolizes the escape while the bicycle represents a vehicle of freedom. The area beyond the courtyard and building has very rich colors. The blue sky, green trees and plants represent the experience of freedom outside of sequestration where a person is able to achieve wholeness, and is able to engage in life to the fullest w
