The journey begins I choose to remove my mask Unaware of lurking dangers Ignorant to consequences Threats are made But not taken seriously enough Protectors are lied to So they arrive at my home I am surrounded Weapons trained on my movement My children hear shouting I'm forced onto my knees, bound Fear & confusion overwhelm Until misunderstanding is proven The protectors apologize And leave my family alone Relief takes over Followed by a desire to protect I look for my mask But it can no longer be worn

There's a seemingly infinite number of secret details like this embedded into the artwork with what feels like unlimited ways to interpret them. This feels purposeful, to enable the interactivity and creativity of our participation.

I love that instead of focusing on the more obvious items and details across the artwork, you found inspiration in something as seemingly unimportant as the mud on the ground.

I was also drawn to this key when looking through the artwork. It's even more intriguing with the text decoded above. Almost like it's there as a starting point for a whole new story when the time is right.

The “A” stands for Adam, author of the observation. And you’re correct, it didn’t rhyme, thanks for the conversation.
