This image is part of a series I did based on the concept of sequestration. This room represents the concept of involuntary 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. This can be a voluntary withdraw or it can be an involuntary act. In the case of voluntary sequestration, this comes in the various forms of entertainment seen in society such as in television and shopping malls. Through this an individual fails to engage and experience life to the fullest and their sense of self is also neglected. Involuntary sequestration comes in the form of restrictions that exist because of structures in society or relationships that can squelch a person’s individuality and creativity. Institutions such as schools that teach people what to think instead of how to think. In these institutions a person’s individuality is restricted, discouraged, or isn’t even allowed to flourish at all. The room has a very dilapidated, run-down look to it. This symbolizes the lifeless effect of sequestration can have on a person. There is a doll on the rocking chair in the middle. A doll is static, it can’t move on its own, someone has to actually come into the room and pick it up in order for it to move. This doll symbolizes someone who is sequestered involuntarily. This individual is bound to restrictions set forth by situations, circumstances, and institutions. Outside of the room we see hints of green shrubs and we see sunlight pouring through the windows which indicates that there is another world outside of this room that is full of life. There are no open doors or windows that can represent escaping this sequestration, because in the case of involuntary sequestration a person has no choice other than to be sequestered. A person might be able to see or even dream of an existence
