My series, 鈥淭he Blinding Condition鈥 addresses metaphorical blindness. With gestural鈥 figures conveying, the existential blindness that is inherent within the human experience. This blindness manifests itself in many forms鈥攚hether through incognizance of the unknown or willful ignorance of what one refuses to face. 鈥 I call it 鈥淭he Blinding Condition鈥, because the gestural figures convey not being able to physically see the existing state that can be changed, or situations with respect to circumstances of the abstract structures of freewill.
